Alright, you’ve all felt this as I have right? Stuck, doubtful, or like nothing you're doing or creating matters, that feeling of drudgery as one mundane day bleeds into the next. Today’s video is NOT about ‘fixing’ that. Watch and let yourself:

* Learn why doubt, frustration, and/or creative blocks are natural phases of the creative process

* Embrace where you are right now; and how the ‘artist’s lament’ helped me see the chronic roots of my doubt.

* Feel into what it, instead of forcing yourself

* Practice radical acceptance (a 3-step process) to move through emotional lows with compassion

It’s crazy how sometimes the most radical thing we can do in the moment is letting ourselves be exactly as are in the moment. This inner permission is so transformative, because it shifts us out of “fight” and “resistance” and helps us with sustainability in our creative process.

As we shift into Taurus season next week, we are invited to bring our creatives fires (of Aries) to ground (Taurus). This is where we choose when, how, where and what to plant so we can start our cultivation process.

Did you try the ‘artist’s lament’ or your version of it? Share your experience—it’ll be fun!
