A Free Worksheet
We are still finding our way through January. We’re missing our sitter – closing in on one month without them. And while I recognize having a sitter is a privilege I also have to accept that my neurotype simply cannot do certain types of work without that support.
Does anyone else relate to feeling guilty for the support you actually need?
I have a lot more to say on this when I have the time to finish processing.
As a family we are struggling with the break in routine, the overstimulation of the holidays, and lack of reset time. Not to mention a flare up in chronic pain (thank you winter weather.)
Right now I’m trying to write this while Nathan does bedtime, but the noise cancelling headphones can only do so much.
So keeping it short and sweet.
This is a printable I made to dig deeper on the purpose that drives your creative work. I talk about finding your North Star in the final chapter of Discover Your Creative Ecosystem. This Venn diagram is another way to visualize the concept. Especially if one guiding star feels a bit limiting.
You can print this off or use an app like Procreate to fill it in digitally. If you do either I’d love to see! Tag me on Instagram @sarahdshotts.
I am holding it together by reinstating my morning walk. During the time Nathan used to drive Davy to school I am going for a short loop around the park which brings me right past this lovely wintering willow.
While I’m stalling on projects I’ve been funneling my creative energy into rearranging the house and studio for the new semester. Meet the newest member of the family…
Apparently, I adopt typewriters the way other people do pets. 😂
