This is time you are permitting yourself to being creative and to making something creative.
Here are some guidelines:
-
Commit fully. Commit to making the time count and fully engaging with the process. If you decide to quit or get too distracted, make a note of when that happened and why, if you are able.
-
Bring a beginner’s mind and an open heart. Try not to make assumptions based on past experiences.
-
Get support if needed. If emotions arise during the process that are overwhelming, find local support.
-
Focus on being well. Be kind to yourself. Nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Being creative can bring up a lot of judgements for some people. Be nice to yourself.
-
Trust your experience. Don’t chase a big kaboom. Each person’s experience is unique.
-
Be patient. Remember there is no perfect project or perfect
artist. There is just process.
