creative therapy 48 : a secret you've been keeping
my inspiration and the need to create but most importantly that feeling i get when i do make things because it's such a process for me. for me the process is just as important, if not more so, than the end result.
sometimes i feel like my mind is overridden with so much visual stimulation that i just can't seem to get anything out. i read too many blogs. i spend too much time on the computer seeing and searching for art and inspiration until it just becomes an unmanageable jumble of images and thoughts and ideas all rattling around up in my head.
until last week when i was talking with gi and we made a little pact for february that is seeming to really lift me out.
just step away.
turn it off so the inspiration can turn on.

obviously i'm not the first to do this, i know dina has, we've spoken about it quite a few times, most recently at cha. gain some distance from all of the stimulation so that what you want to create can break through, and i have to say i'm really feeling it right now.
so i have my creed for february and it's doing me good.
and i'm just making something.
everyday.
xoxo
You are SO inspiring <3

I agree with the overstimulation thing. It's too much. I love what you did here.
