Welcome to part 3 of my 4-part Creative Flow series! In today's episode, we're exploring the first of the core principles within my RESET Your Creative Energy framework: Regular Rest and Essentials Only. I understand the struggles of managing multiple responsibilities. By prioritizing rest and focusing on essentials, we can prevent or overcome burnout and rediscover our creative flow. 

If you missed them, check out episode #41, where we explored my Creative Exploration Formula, and episode #42,  the research and experience-backed Keys for Nurturing Creativity. 

Today, let’s RESET your creative energy with practical strategies to incorporate regular rest into your routine and identify the essentials in your life that deserve your focus.
