Since March, my creative fire’s been really low. It’s happened before and that’s when I used to panic - but I know after years of practice it’s not gone, just smouldering for now ❤️
Overwhelm moves through you like weather. Change does the same. For a while, the ideas and energy go quiet, waiting somewhere under the ash.
I tend to choose to stop chasing the spark and start tending the embers instead: walking/ cycling everywhere until the noise cleared, moving the body until it remembers itself, slow coffee, real food, my cat’s weight on my back as I sleep, and a voice on the phone that steadies me every time.
I always try not to force this - but just to hold the old practice of returning to self - until the fire finds its way back on its own terms 🔥
This is the part of alchemy no one shows you: the dark before the gold. It is frustrating for me, but patience and trust that it returns is definitely key.
Desk Day, the unfiltered version. 🖤
If your own fire’s been low since spring you’re not imagining it. Some seasons ask for quiet before they hand you anything new.
