Hey First name / friend!
As many of us are slowly returning to our regular rhythms, I wanted to send you into 2023 with a positive reminder ✨ For the artists or creatives, listen up…
ALLOW YOUR WORK TO TAKE UP SPACE
In the past year, I’ve seen how much value my art practice can bring into my life, it’s a place where I truly feel joyful and present. As I surrender to the creative process and become fully immersed in it, it fills me up with so much light and magic.
Yet something I’ve really had to work hard through are judgmental thoughts that surface about my own work and its value. I'll constantly question if a project is worth spending my time on, judging its quality before I even begin, and failing to give things a chance in fear that it won’t work out.
For so long, we’ve told ourselves that what we do doesn’t matter, given over our power to the fears and doubts.
And so in light of new beginnings, I encourage you to:
Let go of a past belief
If there’s something you’re still holding onto, realize that it was there to keep you safe, it served a good purpose. But have faith in the next thing, that you’re stepping into so much more. Now is the time to let it go ❤
Make way for something new
Find something that brings you to life and fills you up with joy. Give it space to exist and grow. Let yourself feel excited for it.
