I’ve been anxious my creative energy would never come back. It’s not like I haven’t been in this exact place before— and of course it always does come back.

And yet.

Every time it happens, the same creative separation anxiety creeps back in.

I forget where I first read this quote, but it was during this time period and it’s since become one I come back to over and over.

It’s simple but not-so-obvious that small consistent steps add up much quicker than big sweeping moves every once in a while— but new habits are tricky to stick with.

These are a few things that have helped me move the needle and stay consistent over the last year or so, and I highly recommend them.
