I started letting go of perfectionism and started actually doing the things. And my brain got quieter, less tense, there was less feelings like I "needed" to do this and that. And then some thoughts started sounding different, like when I button or item in a video game is highlighted so you notice it more. My intuition is more clear now and the synchronicities that come out from that always makes me laugh a little and say "wow, how funny."

🏆I tend to be really hard on myself when it comes to creative projects, but lately I've been trying to relax and enjoy it more, and I think it shows in the work. I feel more daring, more invested, more inspired. I find it's a lot easier to spark new ideas when you aren't wasting mental energy fixating on whether something is good but instead focused on having fun. People are intuitive. They can pick up what you're putting down.

Sometimes it’s just fun to scribble without thinking and see where your mind takes you. I’ve never been one to really focus on how I’m drawing or what my thought process is, and it leads to the weirdest little creations on a piece of paper. The second one was my attempt at a realistic piece, but I tend to gravitate more towards just letting my hand do the work, and not thinking of what I’m doing in the moment. I have hundreds of sheets of just random, unfinished thoughts and representation of what my conscious guides me to do on paper. No matter how “good” or “bad” a piece of art is, it’s still art, and it is still something to admire. :p

🤪been trying to make a conscious effort to direct my negative energy into art rather than doomscrolling or putting it out into the world in less meaningful and productive ways

☎️For over a year I had the "world's tiniest ruggedized phone". I don't remember the brand but I bet you can google it. Regardless, I still found myself using Instagram and Facebook on the tiny little screen 🥲. When they say social media is made to be addictive I fully believe it. App blockers, making my screen grey scale after 6pm, none of it works. I delete the settings, I remove the blocker.
The best things I've done for myself that is SO much easier said than done is 1. remove the thing from your life that you're trying to avoid and/or 2. Embrace the thing you're trying to avoid.
For me 1. Was a terrible job and 2. Was silence and boredom
