<p>Hello Beautiful!</p><p><br></p><p>This episode of Black Girl Creative Podcast is for my fellow artists who don’t feel like creating anything right now. </p><p>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.</p><p>It’s okay if you don’t create anything right now.</p><p>It’s okay to be tired. It’s okay to rest.</p><p>Rest is essential to creativity and rest CREATES.<br>Every season ain’t for creating and doing.</p><p>Let’s talk about seasonal living and creating, honoring our boundaries, resting and working through “creative blocks”.</p><p>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.<br>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.<br>You are loved. You are sacred. You are EVERYTHING good.</p><p><em>much love and joy,</em></p><p><em>Alecia</em></p><p></p><p>🌈 A Human Being Can Absolutely Burn Out • Black Women Healing 🤎✨ by <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCmWAbNIfucOWWDpD0pO7CbA"> @glamazini </a> : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLznJq347FU🌈 &quot;White Masculinist Imperialism&quot; Coined by Janell Hobson (thank you <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCGWGqFtNdV6CIbqyDptDo4g"> @Got2BOshun </a> )🌈 (I really enjoyed this!)
