It’s no secret that I’ve been in a creative rut lately. I don’t know if it’s burnout, 45 year old brain fog, or too much time scrolling on my phone that’s causing it, but it’s likely a combination of all three. 

 To combat this funk I’m giving myself a 30 day creative renewal challenge! From Monday to Friday for the next 30 days I’m going to paint for at least 30 mins, walk for at least 30 mins, practice a new creative hobby for 15 mins, Read a new book, and journal each day.

I’m excited for this 30 day challenge. I know it will be just the medicine I need to refresh my creative practice and my mind.

This March has felt like a bit of an energetic funk for me personally. It could be the fact that the weather really never knows what it's doing this time of year, but I think the recipe I'm craving is more time in nature. 

I stumbled on this quote yesterday which is something I think we all need:

"Movement is medicine for the body.

Nature is medicine for the mind.

Art is medicine for the soul."

I spent a lot of time procrastinating a fairly difficult commissioned watercolour painting last month, which meant spending a lot of time behind the scenes on the less glamorous side of a creative business.
