Just wanted to share with you, a month or so ago I was pretty down and
felt burnt out, I became ill and was forced to take nearly a week off,
just lying on the sofa and trying to recover, it was so frustrating to
me but I obviously needed it, then after many days just reading, taking
the dogs to the beach etc, I sat at my easel and tried to draw, nothing
came, I did something else, the next day I tried again and did a little
background and felt it was rubbish.
No matter how many
times I tried I just couldn't get into the zone, I was doodling like a 3
year old. Instead of getting sad I concentrated on doing Kelly Rae Roberts Flying lessons, learning from Leonie Dawson
academy, browsing pinterest and making plans in my bujo.
Then a couple
of days ago I woke up with an idea and tonight I finished Autumn girl, I
am so happy I feel like this is the best art I have done so far.
Sometimes we just have to listen to our bodies and come back even
stronger
Rest when we need to and take time to just be, how many times do you watch a film and be on your phone or knit at the same time?
We need to get back to living in the moment and totally being absorbed in one thing at a time.
Love Dotty xx
