5 Things To Do When Anxiety Is Blocking Your Creativity
5 Things To Do When Anxiety Is Blocking Your Creativity I'd been at a complete creative standstill for about a week, without art or writing.

My motivation had gone out the window, and all I wanted to do was curl into bed with the blinds shut.

19 Things I learned in Quarantine before I turned 19 As a college student starting her first year in college, I never realized what I was giving up everyday when I commuted to and from my school, completed tests and papers and talked with my friends. Up until mid-march, I had been stuck in a monotonous routine of waking up, barely eating breakfast and hurrying to college. However, my mundane life came to a halt as the lockdown started and I was forced to learn and prepare myself for the future from a computer.

Develop a Creation Bias Now
Stop the endless consumption and start creating! Trust me you'll thank me for it! Constant distraction and information overload is the constant state we are all in. We consume and we consume more without hardly creating anything (well we are not counting the fort you created with empty beer cans!). We have an innate need to consume and hoard. Opening tab after tab of articles and news, mindlessly spending hour after hour.

Calama's Recipe for a Lazy Day
We all have those days where we wake up with no idea what do, or, even if we do, we have no inclination to do it.

Better Days
“In rebuilding a broken world, we will have the chance to choose a less hurried life.” – Dr. Alan Lightman I baked cookies! That’s right, for the first time in over seven years, I baked homemade chocolate chip cookies. I was a little nervous because baking has never been my strength in the kitchen (probably because I am not good at following directions). But, guess what?!
