I’m somewhat glad to read I’m not the only one struggling with the overwhelm! Unfortunately when I limit myself to such and such, I also get bored reeeeeeally easily and stop feeling inspired. It’s so frustrating. I’m really curious how your process will go!
I like your iPad drawing and the self-care thought behind your project! 🫶🏼
I love the sound of your Little Life Lessons project! Also, a big fan of napping although I think if I left a little pick me up next to me for when I woke up, my dog Honey, would have helped herself to it once she knew I was safely napping!
Love this post Zoe! And I am so glad to have found your Substack! Feeling all the feels here too. I am so curious about this Good Ship course. I've just subscribed to your newsletter and will be eagerly waiting and watching you draw simple things. No pressure btw! Just seeking inspiration to sit down and do the same!! ;)
I love the simplicity you bring to help your drawing habit! I’m also a fan of the brush pen and black and white drawings, especially when my head feels ‘full’ and can’t cope with making art material choices.
Thank you for the reminder to make making art easy! I need a sketchbook kit so I can sit down and commit to drawing instead of feeling bogged down by setting up my station. Also love the lessons our pets teach us, maybe I need to take a nap masterclass from my cats 👀
Love this! Another good way to manage naps, it only nap for a maximum 30mins. 20 is ideal. Any longer and you get into deep sleep.
Another good trick is to have a cup of caffeinated tea just before your nap, you’ll drift off and then either your bladder or the caffeine will wake you up :)
Hi Zoë, I am so happy you enjoyed the course and have made a habit of creating. Looking after your mental health is so important. Thank you so much for the Good Ship shout out 😚 We really appreciate it. Hx
I love this idea so much. I might try that as well. I have been struggling with connecting to my creative self since my daughter was born. And the many decision involved around creating art started overwhelming me and affecting my mental health but maybe pen and ink or something simple might just be what I need. What a joy to habe discovered your substack today 1🥰
