How Your Creative Side can THRIVE as a mom 🌸
#momlife #creativemom #paintingtips
Phew, being a mom is tough. It’s hard enough keeping a mini human alive, let alone trying to fit bits of pieces of yourself back into your daily life.
If you are a new mom and a painter who wants to dive back into being creative, I hope this video will help you get some ideas as to how you can make it work!
It’s a beautiful thing to give your everything to make sure your kiddo thrives. But the mother-child relationship is a two way street. You also have needs, mom, and those include your creative needs.
Sure you might think that the only ‘needs’ you have are biological (food, water, sleep), but the fact of the matter is that you also need to be able to express yourself through creativity to keep your mental state healthy and to keep showing up for your kiddo 🥰
Not to mention, kiddos also benefit from the creative expressions of their parents. They live in a home full of color and artwork on the walls. They hear beautiful music in the background and fall asleep listening to you read them the classics (The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde anyone? 🤣).
I would argue that being creative is a need and it may take a while for you to get back to your flow of being creative (it took me SO LONG), but it’s worth fighting for. It’s worth making time for. Don’t let those negative voices tell you that you are being selfish.
If you were a creative person before becoming a mom, maybe this is the season where you bring that back into your life. And who knows, the spark you are reigniting may be the brightest that it’s ever been now that you are a mother.
Enjoy!
Also I love the fact that I totally forgot to mention on this video what my new huge project is. I will attempt to remember in the next video LOL #mombrain 🤣🤣
