(ARCHIVED)Permission to paint.

Creatives: just like all of you my time is compact and any room to be creative is golden.  Just like all of you the struggle to find time to do my art is real.  Just like all of you I struggle to be mindful of my emotional signs and signals that I need to pump the brakes on my other “priorities” and take care of myself by making time for my art.


Remember that I always say that artists have to create to stay well? 


Remember that I always say that your most important way to refuel and be well is to be creative? 


Remember all the encouragement to have your own daily creative practice?


Remember all the mental health goals to be mindful of our personal state of well being, and personal and emotional needs? 


As you continue to grow in these things you will begin to notice when you have to shove all else aside (and in my case) pick up a brush.


Today I am tired.  Today I am spacey and disconnected.  Today I am irritable.  These are my early signs.  Signing off, Creatives, to practice what I preach, because I will be painting.
