Daily Nourishment for August 3, 2024: We Can Be Who We Are Instead of Trying to Be Someone Else
Daily Nourishment Read Time: 30 seconds
Pause/Prompt/Practice Time: 15 minutes
“I’m not that girl.” - Micky ScottBey Jones
Pause.
Take several deep breaths with a six-count inhale and a six-count exhale while considering what you want and need right now for your creative practice. Let go of what you think others want and need and focus on what you want and need.
Take notes if you like.
Practice.
Set a timer for 10 minutes and take notes or journal in response to the Pause and Prompt above and/or the questions below.
When are you tempted to emulate someone else and their work or creative practice?
Are there times when that can be helpful? When is it unhelpful?
How does belonging to yourself and knowing who you are help your creative process?
Where are you sensing disconnects between the fullness of who you are and what you want and need for your creative practice?
