EPISODE 6: CREATIVE HIBERNATION

“Artists don't get down to work until the pain of working is exceeded by the pain of not working.” — Stephen DeStaebler 

Creative hibernation is part of the creative process whether we like it or not - we need that moment of stillness, of pause in order to heal our minds psychic wounds which opened up during  our creative release. When you’re making really honest work we open ourselves up, we become vulnerable, fragile. We need to heal those parts that we opened up during our creative release and that is where creative hibernation comes in.I believe this is an integral part of the creative process it’s a cycle.

EPISODE 5 : FEAR

I’m scared! What was that!? What’s going to happen next I don’t know I’m JUST really scared. 

Looking Straight into the Abyss and Questioning Fear…

As far back as I can remember invisible monsters always existed in life as well as very real ones.  The fear of monsters under our beds in our closets, on the other side of the door! The unknown, it’s terrifying!  This episode will focus more on the imaginary ones we create in our daily lives, the one’s that we manufacture in our minds and ultimately have some control over. You know those fears namely the ones that evoke fear in our hearts, making our skin pale and stomach turn and sink. 

EPISODE 4 : PERFECTION IS A DISEASE...

Perfectionism is a Disease that Halts Progress… 
Don’t let perfection stop you from doing the things that you are dreaming of accomplishing. Perfection can be a real disease and halt progress in so many facets of life. It certainly wreaks havoc in the creative realm. I think it is better to progress imperfectly and move forward than stay in the same place not make any mistakes but also not moving not making any progress.
