I am trying to undo all the rules I set for myself regarding creative discipline and technique.
Not everything needs to be marketable or profound. Literally if it feels good, you’re doing it right.

🤹If you are making art for yourself, you are playing, not working.
I like to really lean into this and do something completely unstructured either as a warm up or as a break while I’m working on a project. I like to do what I call “shit canvases” where I use up old supplies and garbage and what not. I layer things onto the canvas, building up some parts as I go, covering parts I don’t care about as much, maybe even ripping things off of it. I also so something on a smaller scale in my journal. Maybe I’ll start with a scribbled rant, or writing a few phrases down, and then I start to cover it with more words, or stickers, or I paint a little thing, or a sticky note, then more paint, then take the sticky note off. I have no end goal in mind, I’m just playing and seeing how things work together.
Make yourself let loose

➕It's way too easy to over-write, over-paint, over-create. Just because it felt easy doesn't mean that it's bad. In fact, that zen feeling of inspiration *should* feel effortless. Don't let your work ethic ruin something good.
At the very least, step back before you do more. If it needs more work, you'll know the next time you look at it.

Just do it without thinking about an outcome or whether or not it’s good but think about whether or not you are enjoying the process and have fun

The vines are consuming fire hydrants and power lines and stop signs and every gust of wind is filling the air with a delicious magnificent jasmine scent and I feel delirious and reborn and glad to be alive

Take a walk, take a whiff :-)

🍰This is something that I started doing last year and they are now fundamentally important to me.
A dessert walk is an after dinner stroll you take ideally during sunset. You walk to a grocery store and buy a sweet treat or piece of fruit and a fun beverage. For me usually a peach and a kombucha. You walk for a bit as the sun sets and return when your treats are consumed.
A delicious end to your evening that helps you digest.
