Q: How do I prioritise rest as an artist?
Do you often find yourself too caught up in the whirlwind of creativity to take a moment to breathe? Is the thought of stepping away from your art for even a short period filled with guilt or anxiety? You’re not alone. Many artists struggle with the concept of rest, fearing it may hinder their productivity or creative flow. But what if prioritizing rest is actually the key to unlocking even greater artistic potential?
As an artist, carving out time for rest and self-care is essential for maintaining a healthy balance in your life. Taking regular breaks from your work to rest and refuel is key to keeping your creative energy in check.
Remember, your art and your wellbeing are equally important. With a little bit of self-care, you’ll be ready to tackle your creative project and avoid burnout.
