I'm BAack from maternity leave with new nuggets to infuse into your creativity! If every day feels the same + you're feeling uninspired, let's start a club, yah? Ha. Having nothing to look forward to breeds hopelessness. Hopelessness is a hallmark of depression + apathy, and creativity is born out of a zest for life, a sense of vitality--NO one wants to create when they're feeling apathetic. Quarantine + covid have got a lot of us feeling like there's nothing to look forward to, which feeds the apathy/lack of inspo monster. Let's explore two flavors of something to look forward to so you can breathe new life into your creativity! In this episode: -how looking forward to something can help curb your need for instant gratification (+ achieve bigger goals!) -2 kinds of things to infuse into your life so you always have something to look forward to -the secret to eliminating 'what should i be doing' energy + fully enjoying your time (so you create more) *I drop this at the very end of the episode* Can't wait to hear what you think--share with me on instagram @brookebschultz.
