Hello Beautiful!This episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast is for my fellow artists who don’t feel like creating anything right now. This episode is for artists and creatives that are too tired, too grievous, too heavy, too burned out, too sad, too overwhelmed to create anything.It’s okay if you don’t create anything right now.It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to rest.Rest is essential to creativity and rest CREATES.Every season ain’t for creating and doing.Let’s talk about seasonal living and creating, honoring our boundaries, resting and working through “creative blocks”.As Autumn makes way for winter, slow living does well for us slower, feeling artists. Trust your creative timing and rhythms. Inspiration will come around again.It is safe to rest. It is good to rest. It is necessary to rest. You are a human being, not a machine. You are safe, here. Rest.You are loved. You are sacred. You are EVERYTHING good.much love and joy,Alecia🌈 A Human Being Can Absolutely Burn Out • Black Women Healing 🤎✨ by  @glamazini  : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLznJq347FU🌈 "White Masculinist Imperialism" Coined by Janell Hobson (thank you  @Got2BOshun  )🌈 (I really enjoyed this!)

Dear Black Girl Creative, Trust your creative process. follow your own intuition. I tried Julia Cameron's Morning Pages in The Artist's Way, and it no longer works for me. I thought I was a failure, but then I gave myself permission to trust my own process and follow my own creative intuition. Could following the rules be killing your creativity? Be messy. Stay human.

Capitalism ruins everything, but don't allow these algorithms to control you. share your art. Share your heart. Be messy. Stay human.
