“The Poppy” A Doodle From Taking A Break

Hi, Creative Friends-

Life can be overwhelming and our work, the work that captures the highest expression of ourselves, can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be depleting. Have you found yourself deep in a project that needs every ounce of talent, laser focus, and oodles of your time only to find the project isn’t progressing as you had wished? That’s when we need a break and here are…

3 Creative Ideas To Take A Break To Help Your Work Soar.

1. Doodle Up Your Day: Yes, doodling works to help flush out ideas and switch the brain into a mode of creative meditation. When you find yourself frustrated with your work, set a timer for 5, 15, or 30 min and doodle up your day. Draw what you gobbled down for breakfast, something funny you noticed on your way to work, or a few office supplies on your desk. Doodling will soften the brain, help flush out ideas and relieve stress.

2. Bring On The Om: Try humming for a few minutes. Did you know humming even a simple “Om” like in yoga can reduce stress levels and stabilize a heartbeat? A simple humming sound can clear the mind to make room for new ideas that can make work soar.

3. Creative Naptime: The famous painter Salvador Dalí did it and you can too, take a nap to make your work better. Read all about how Dalí used naps to influence his creative work at “Artsy: Taking A Nap Could Make You More Creative.”

Drop me a message and let me know what you are working on and what kind of breaks you take to make your creative work soar.

1. Also, thanks for reading along. This newsletter takes some time to pull together. Consider showing your support by forwarding it to someone who might need some inspiration or buying some of my artwork at INPRNT or Society 6.
