Vacations are Good for You!

Taking time to care for yourself is super important, for your health and your art. Being burned out or just tired will not fuel your creativity. I have to say that taking two weeks off to wander around England was refreshing. I came home full of ideas and motivation.

Getting out of Dodge is huge. The power of heading away, even an hour or two down the highway is restorative.

We tend to get stuck in our ruts, they are comfortable and it’s easy to become entrenched in them. Breaking out of the comfort zone is where your true creativity will happen. That uncomfortable area feeds the soul and the brain loves it.

Plan your vacation, even to the next town, but do it! Do it frequently.
