How To Stay Creative When Life Feels Heavy (Studio Vlog)

August 31, 2021

We need to talk about staying creative when life feels heavy and the world around us seems to be falling to pieces. This is an important topic to chat about, friends.

If life is weighing you down and you fear you might be losing your identity as a creative person… this is for you. If you’ve been wanting to pick up a paintbrush or a pair of sewing scissors but feel distracted/worried/stressed/disheartened… or like your projects aren’t important in the grand scheme of things, this is for you.

Let’s talk about why and how this happens to many creatives, and how we can consciously infuse creativity back into our lives.

And while we’re at it, let’s remind ourselves why even the smallest, seemingly least “profound” thing you can make still deserves your time and effort. Creativity, art, and the act of making are too important to let slide to the back burner any longer. Grab a cup of tea and put this one in your headphones, friends.

Watch the video below (also linked here) and don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for creative inspiration, DIYs, and vlogs.

What are your thoughts? How are you prioritizing creativity during these bizarre times?

I’d love to hear from you. Leave a comment on the video above or here on the blog (or follow me on IG and say hi)!
