Rest - Week 2

"If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem."

— Hilary Mantel, British writer

We all get stuck whether it’s a challenge, a feeling of overwhelm or anxiety. Sometimes the best thing we can do is just STOP. Somehow that option just isn’t the first thought in our head but it’s critical to finding creative rest.

 How can you begin? Instead of scrolling on your phone, take a break to daydream. Set aside at least 10 minutes, write down what comes to mind, and enjoy the pause. Could one of these dreams become a reality? Identify one step you can take toward it.

Think back to childhood: What made you feel free, alive, and creative? How did those experiences affect you? Consider how you might reconnect with those feelings now and open yourself to exploration.
