for the artist who's too tired to create...

Alecia Renece | Multi-Passionate Black Girl Creative, Slow Living,
About this episode

For the artist or creative who's too tired to create anything... it's okay. You're allowed to not create. This episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast is for my fellow artists who don't feel like creating anything right now. This episode is for artists and creatives that are too tired to create anything right now. It's okay if you don't create anything right now. It's okay to be tired. It's okay to rest. Rest is essential to creativity and rest CREATES. Every season isn't for creating and doing. Let's talk about seasonal living, honoring our boundaries, resting and working through "creative blocks". As Autumn makes way for winter, slow living does well for us slower, feeling artists. Trust your creative timing and rhythms. Inspiration will come around again.It is safe to rest. It is good to rest. It is necessary to rest. You are a human being, not a machine. You are safe, here. Rest.You are loved. You are sacred. You are EVERYTHING good. 🌈 A Human Being Can Absolutely Burn Out • Black Women Healing 🤎✨ by  @glamazini  : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLznJq347FU🌈 "White Masculinist Imperialism" Coined by Janell Hobson (thank you  @Got2BOshun  )🌈 (I really enjoyed this!)
