I'm not going to lie, it's been a challenging first few days back at work trying to find my creative flow.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I fall for the same trick every year that my first week in my studio before I begin client work will be a super productive, creatively-charged, fun, vibrant time. When the reality is I'm generally still completely exhausted from the silly season and am trying to gather my thoughts, let alone my creative spark.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, how do I approach shaking the post-holiday blues to get focused and excited about the amazing collaborations and personal projects I've got lined up?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✧ GOAL SETTING ~ This is the perfect time of the year to map out your big and small goals, both personal or professional. There are some super cool diaries that have goal planning sections in them and you might even be able to catch the tail end of the new moon energy to set some powerful intentions if you jump on it right away!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✧ MEDITATION ~ I used to shrug off the power of meditation, always avoiding it with the excuse of being "too busy". But it's a practice I adopted to help ground myself during the mayhem of last year and I now love it! A minimum of 10mins of mindfulness is now part of my morning ritual (at least Mon-Fri) and it's transforming how I approach my days and process life. Insight Timer app is a gem for this!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✧ JOURNALING ~ Want to know the best way to braindump all of the fuzz that's clouding up your creative flow? Write that shit down! Again, this was something I used to put down on the "I'm-too-busy-for-that" list but it's now a part of my morning ritual. Get in the habit and I bet you'll land at your desk with a whole lot more clarity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Like the quote suggests, the most important thing to do is act... once you start the momentum will find you. I'd love to hear what kick-starts your creative flow in the New Year. Drop your remedies in the comments below 👇

I hope 2021 is off to a lovely start for you ✨⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One more time for those in the back... 2020's biggest lesson for me is to be grateful for all that I have and I'm sure I'm not alone with this one.

As we're mere hours away from a new year, I'm sitting in the beautiful home that Jimmy & I built bathing in gratitude.
✧ Gratitude for the freedom to travel and have just spent 12 days with my family in the tropical rainforest.
✧ Gratitude for all the lessons 2020 has taught me, especially the one's that have encouraged me to dig deeper within myself.
✧ Gratitude for all of my clients, collaborators, and creative peers who inspire me every single day.
✧ Gratitude for my love, Jimmy, and our pup, Toffee.
✧ Gratitude for YOU. Yes, you, reading this. You are magic and I thank you for supporting my creative small business!
✦
May 2021 be filled with all of the good stuff. ✨
