My mojo is returning

For the first time in forever, I’m starting to feel productive again. Haven’t been able to paint for more than a couple minutes here and there because my concentration has been so poor. I also haven’t done much painting outside of my art journals, so this is a major improvement. I’ll let you know when these paintings are available for purchase. I’m still adding a few finishing touches.

One thing I did last week to make myself feel better was shut the news off. I’ve felt like a deer frozen in headlights for weeks, couldn’t do much except stare at the screen. Five to ten minutes a day to look at the headlines is plenty. I get the gist of what’s going on.

Chewy’s pillow of the day

I think listening to the two podcasts below by Rafi and Klee helped me put things in perspective. I, like Klee, was very informed..too informed, and I felt crappy because there was nothing I could do to help. I went through an “I’m just an artist..my life is meaningless” phase, also.

Listening to: Are you valuable as an artist

Making the most of the quarantine as a creative and not losing your shit

Reading: Finding reality in the midst of anxiety

Hope you have a productive Monday. I’m going to try my best. xo
