Experiencing various emotional phases is a natural part of being human, and it is unrealistic to expect to remain in a single emotional state constantly. Recently, I have observed fluctuations in my creativity levels while working in the studio, leading me to understand the importance of not pushing myself to be there every day. It is perfectly acceptable to deviate from the studio routine. Stepping away from the easel exposes me to different environments, which, as a creative person, can offer new and often unexpected sources of inspiration to bring back to the studio and incorporate into my artistic practice. Even the concern about 'wasting time' while in the studio can impede my creativity. Adopting a different perspective on what constitutes wastefulness is liberating, and recognising the value in the various ways I utilise my studio time contributes significantly to the creative process as a whole. Embracing these moments without judgment facilitates a smoother flow of ideas and mindset.
Realising the creative ups and downs and understanding the importance of releasing the pressure to always be creative has been a significant shift for me. I've learned that easing the stress and giving myself time to let creativity flow naturally is absolutely okay!
