Join the Cove

as creatives we often push ourselves through seaso as creatives we often push ourselves through seasons of rest, labeling it as laziness or uninspiring. but you’re not lazy, your tired. it’s crucial to allow your mind, body, and soul to rest and recharge. you cannot be at your peak forever. stillness grants you the opportunity to check in with yourself on all that you accomplished during your peak. it allows you to rest within and ask yourself questions on how you want to move forward. stillness is apart of growth so don’t push through it but embrace it.
stillness… neutrality, calm, and stillness is w stillness… neutrality, calm, and stillness is what we experience before our minds tell us that this feeling is boredom. instead of sitting with this neutral feeling or creating through the stillness, we escape from it. we are so addicted to feeling big emotions and that dopamine hit, we forget the power of boredom. stillness brings self awareness, clarity of mind, increased creativity and intuition. when you sit with yourself instead of escaping from yourself, you unlock your full power.
my art contradicts my process. my art consists o my art contradicts my process. my art consists of clean straight lines, forms, and colors while my process is messy and chaotic. i get paint everywhere even when trying to careful. my paint brushes are worn but they tell a story of all my past work. my paint is laid out all over the place but if you asked for the cobalt blue i’d know just where to look. i think that in itself is a work of art.
when i say i am my own muse i mean it in every way when i say i am my own muse i mean it in every way possible. not only do i grab inspiration from my thoughts, experiences, and identity but i also use myself as the model for my art to easily map out poses and features. despite me being the reference for my art, i still change up my figures to have their own characteristics and features other than my own so i won’t have a repetitive character in each painting. i thought this would be a fun idea to use this sound over my work verses the reference. 🤣
i didn’t realize how much consumption took a tol i didn’t realize how much consumption took a toll on my mental health until i started reducing my screen time. i found myself lost in the scroll using the excuse that i needed to find inspiration or the next trending sound to use. but then i decided to take a step back from my social media use and put restrictions on my apps. i limited the time i had to consume, making every moment intentional. allowing myself only 15 minutes of screen time forced me to use my time wisely. my mood shifted and creating became my new addiction. being present and taking in the world around you does spark inspiration but we have to be honest with ourselves. how often do we sit on ideas to consume more and more but never bring our ideas to life? i am not anti social media but i do believe too much of anything is not good for you. so to all the creatives out there that are sitting on ideas, this is your sign to go and bring them to life.
when i started to embody my desired life and move when i started to embody my desired life and move in alignment with it, i noticed my fear began to fade. the stress of wondering when i would obtain this dream also faded because how could i be stressed about receiving something i already have? many of us think that fulfilling comes after reaching a goal when the feeling of fulfillment is the prerequisite.
