The double edged sword in my creative practise

In this video I share how my relationship with social media is changing, as well as taking stock of what's leaving us feeling replenished!

Sitting here, it’s almost 1am. Can’t sleep and was thinking of the creative rut I have been in for over two years and how I have to find a way to break through this wall and find my happy again. I needed this video. Thank you ❤️

When I need to come down I touch grass, go for a walk and take a deep breath. The sound of birds and the smell of trees/leaves/the forest/the nature is so perfect to calm🥰

I'm happy to be your one person. I love this type of peaceful video with ambient sound (not awful music). As a chronically sick person who cannot leave the house without a carer, this brings me so much joy as I love being out in the woods. I follow hiking vlogs so I can see places that I cannot go. Never underestimate the power of these videos. And touch grass, preferably with bare feet. ❤

On my road trip we went to places where there was no reception or wifi, and I learned just how dependant I am on the internet. I missed it so much and was very happy when we picked up data again. 😂 I hope I can cut down on the mindless scrolling too, but so far that hasn’t happened very much. It’s a blessing and a curse! Getting out in nature certainly helps balance things out. Lovely video! ❤

You basically described my past three weeks when you said you brought all your art supplies out, but weren't feeling the urge to paint, just being outside was enough. I've been on a three week trip to Northern England and Scotland and had ambitions to document the trip in paintings, but about a week in I decided to lift the pressure and just enjoy being there! It was a very needed break to touch grass and just be at peace while out in nature :)

I sooo needed this, Thank you!! It is so beautiful there. This walk through nature with you felt great!!!

Touch Grass!!!
I feel a daily Bible reading practice, where I contemplate that which I’m reading- in a very real life sort of way-is completely life altering to such a degree that almost nothing else has EVER been for me!😃
This is a huge endorsement of the practice, and every time I look at my Bible and recognize the endless volume of edification and relationship building and growth materials present within the chapters and verses I’m overwhelmed in the best possible way…🙌🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻
I love this video you’ve made! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us! Praying you are well!!🫶🏻

Fresh garden tomatoes! Lovely video. I felt like I took this beautiful walk right by your side. Thank you.

Touch Grass! This was so inspiring and relaxing. My fave vegetable is eggplant and I can appreciate everything you said about slowing down. I am usually going 90 to nothing on the daily, but today I have left my personal rat race for the mountains of Colorado, USA. I have my art supplies with me, but my plan is to soak in as much inspiration as I can. Just Breathe. Love your channel❣️. Blessings to you.

I really thought that this video is not for me, especially since I'm not in the right state of mind but I felt really sad when it ended so I guess I was enjoying it more than what I expected 😅 thank you for sharing I definitely needed it ❤️

[JohnSmith-xbux]

A walk in the park at the end of the week is a good way to start the new one, along with a nice youtube video and a some Sketces.and.Scrubs in your sketchbook. Thank you for upload, pretty hair lady😊😊

[pamsmart]

Thank you for this! I definitely needed it. I’m going out to my backyard now to play with my puppy.😊

[BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

I so resonate with what you shared here! Lovely scenery to enjoy too.

I actually have loved vegetables since I was a small child. As a kid my favorite food was spinach, so I was considered strange by my school mates.

I agree that I spend too much time scrolling without even noticing. So I have started carrying a very small Royal Talens square sketchbook ( the 4.5 x 4.5 so fits in my purse or pocket ) and a Lamy fountain pen with me everywhere, including from room to room in my house.

Every time I want to scroll on my phone I pick up my small talens sketchbook and fountain pen (the fountain pen makes the action seem more meaningful and deep) and I do an ink doodle for about 10 mins instead. If I still want to scroll, then I don’t feel like it has been a complete waste of time and I also am more aware of how long I am scrolling. Sometimes I get into the doodling and no longer feel like scrolling.

This is kind of like the diet advice that when you feel the urge to eat, and maybe it is from boredom and not hunger, drink a glass of water first and then if you still want to eat something your stomach starts off fuller, so less room for junk food, and also it makes you more aware of what you are doing so you are less in automatic pilot.

I did this very thing, touching grass, & walking around the yard today with our cooler weather here. As for vegetables, I have been craving a pot of green beans so I will be making them tonight with some meatloaf! I have really enjoyed the views of the park while you were walking around & sharing this with us. Enjoy your downtime too!

[EvetteW]

Love this video, sometimes we just need to stop and have a breather. My favourite vegetable is sweetcorn! Going to have a dance before settling to do some art 🫶🏾🫶🏾

[tnjp]

Touch was very inspirational, I have found myself using my phone much less in order to reconnect with the reality around me. I am enjoying sitting out on my balcony, just my Conure Naoki and me. I also read more and am trying to focus a little more on my art. Thank you for such a beautiful video 🎨🌸💕

[Jos-P]

Touch Grass. And my favourite veg is Brussels sprouts. Really. hahaha.
This was so lovely. I really enjoyed a calm break coming back from being out and about. Thank you so much for sharing it. I think I'll go for a walk later, when the weather clears up. I enjoyed your reflections, and seeing you looking happy and calm. I smiled a lot. 🌳

[Carolyn-zmeo]

Superb nature and human nature walk! Thank you.

[AliceAiken-wu]

So beautiful. It reminds me of Bishop California.
