No time for your creative projects? Try this!
Being in the creative flow, painting, playing the guitar, crafting, or perhaps gardening, is really among the times you feel happiest. The problem is, you hardly ever find the time to do it these days. You sometimes look at those long forgotten art supplies collecting dust on a shelf (or did you put them away in the attic?) and sigh. If you only had more time, you could do more of those things that you so love. But adult life is too demanding, full of important chores. After working, commuting, taking care of kids, cooking, cleaning and all those other things that just need to be done, there’s no time left for YOU, and for…

How to get on with your idea after a confidence crash
Did you ever experience that you got super excited over an idea, that everything felt possible and you just couldn´t stop talking about it, but then, all of a sudden, you mysteriously lost faith and started to doubt it all instead? This emotional rollercoaster is all too familiar to me – I’ve lost track on how many times I’ve gone from being filled with energy, my head bubbling with ideas about what I wanted to do, being totally speedy, waking up in the middle of the night because I had so many ideas I just needed to write down etc. to, all of a sudden, a crash. No more talking, regretting every…
