Getting My Creative Mojo Back
Everyday this week I've set aside some time to make jewelry. Instead of thinking about the marketing, taking pictures, and creating listings at my Etsy shop, I've just focused on being creative.
I was thinking back to the days when I first started making jewelry. My nightly ritual was to stay up and watch the TV show, The Wayans Brothers, and make jewelry. It was just my way of relaxing and having fun and a day of work and classes. I bought seed beads and elastic from Joann's craft store because on my student budget that's all I could afford at the time. I would make bracelets for myself and my boyfriend. Good times.
I definitely have Stephanie Tran to thank for helping me get my creative mojo back. Stephanie is an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) practitioner who is helping me get rid of the psychological blocks that are stopping me from taking my jewelry business to the next level. I talk more in detail about this in a post at my other blog titled "Goals and Releasing Resistance".
Another way that I'm getting the creative mojo back is to do more things for myself like go for walks, exercising, and spending more time on this blog. Instead of waking up and immediately getting to work on client projects, I'm working on myself - like meditating...cooking a nice breakfast and enjoying it...even going to the early matinee!
