It's okay to take a day off - (and how to get the artist block)

Sometimes you don't feel like doing a post, and it's okay don't worry, after all, you do it because you want to, not because you have to, right?

Forcing yourself to do the things that you love is the worst thing you can do.
If you think of it like a chore, it will eventually become a burden, not a hobby or a passion.
That's how many people get the artist block, they focus too much on the duty of doing it rather than on actually doing it.
If you always think "I must finish this story/drawing/whathever" instead of doing it, you'll never do anything, you'll only feel overwhelmed.

Btw today I took a day off from posting, I went to the beach with my friends, I focused on a new track that I'm doing and I drew a lot, too!
And even if this was my day off, I felt inspired to share this thought with all of you :)
slowly, this is becoming a part of my everyday life, and it's amazing

Be creative, and remember to feel free, too!keep-calm-and-take-a-day-off-23.png

Yup. Nothing that kills creativity as efficiently as your inner critic.

You read my mind.
