CreativeLife update for August - life, art, and feeling overwhelmed...again!

 Hey there creative friends!

I have been planning to post for weeks now, but when I blink the weekend was gone and I had to tackle my tasks for the week.

But this week I sat down and made the time to write this post. Work is crazy and the feeling of being overwhelmed grabbed me and dragged me to the floor a few days ago. I didn't like it at all. But when I got one job after the other done, I basically showed a finger to the feeling and amazingly it worked!

Of course, just pushing through is not a good choice long term, since that tended to make things worse. I took time for myself on Friday and with recharged batteries I can now face the coming week without that terrible feeling hanging onto my mind.

A bit of painting and some writing also helped, and a general sense of spring coming in the warmer weather is nothing to be sneezed at either. We do expect at least one more cold spell, typical of the area where I live, but the longer days are here. So is the new growth in the shrubs in my garden - and plants know about these things. LOL!

I am looking forward to two art courses this coming week. I am particularly excited for The Creative Reset course by Louise Fletcher. I even got all my materials already prepared and ready to go for when the first email lands in my inbox. I have done her free courses in the past, and look forward to it again this year.

Another busy week then...oh well. I do have to say that I hate being bored, but will spend some time today to do plan the next two weeks, where I normally only plan one week.

Have an awesome and creative week!

Until next time,
