Savoring Monday

In todays episode, I share my journey with navigating the digital world as an artist. I shed light on how easy it is to fall into comparison, to try what other creators are creating, how easy it is to fall into trying to please the algorithm and more. Whats important is connecting to your inner child and creating from an authentic place even if that looks different from the majority.

Todays question is: "how do you get through hardship?"

In todays episode, I cover perspective shifts, the importance of feeling your feelings, looking at life through the lens of gratitude, mindfulness practices, nervous system regulation and more in relation to navigating hardship.

In this episode, I mention a recent hardship of mine that led me to surrender. There’s many things out of our control, and our desire to control the situation controls us. Sometimes worrying or sitting in anxiety makes us feel in control, but letting go is actually the ultimate form of control. I also talk about the struggle with the realization that there will always be hardships in life and how we can navigate that.

Todays question is "“in the previous episode you mentioned that you technically don’t have to change much about your day to day life to find whimsy. You just have to slow down enough to notice it. Could you give examples on this?”

In todays episode I share how you can find whimsy in the very activities, daily routines, and tasks you are already doing. Even if you dont have the time, I promise you can find it.

I also touch on the following topics in this reflection: Comparing ourselves to others our age, Being someone who is multi-passionate and can’t just pick one thing, Navigating the world of social media and content creation, Finding your purpose, Turning your art into a career, Its okay to quit, Toxic productivity and Mindfulness in the process.
