Creative Flow

Creating is therapy.
I think we all need it.
If I did all the “adulting” that life dumps on me, and none of the creating…I honestly would not survive…my mental health would be a write off.
Most parents think that taking time for themselves is selfish. That others need to come first.
I have the conviction that it is more selfish if I’m not creating, not feeding myself with the things that balance me and help me thrive.
The difference between my capacity to care and love my family on the days I’ve had some “creating time”, versus the days I don’t make it happen - is palpable.
If you’re not doing anything that fills you with joy each day. Those around you are missing out - missing out on the version of you that can love the fullest.

So, take five minutes today (surely you deserve that?!) and remind yourself what makes you feel like ‘you’ again!
Nb. I sketched this during a sermon in church guys - you can find time ☺️
