Every winter for the past 3 years it’s been the same … June comes around & I find I’m struggling to adjust to the cooler weather and less daylight hours. Do you find this too?
This time of year I’m less inclined to be active. I’m quieter, unmotivated and I can’t seem to find the creative energy that usually drives me. I experience a sort of low that’s not typical of me.
I think most would agree that winter is a time for hibernating, ruminating & reflection … for withdrawing & soul searching.
So it’s no wonder that this month my thoughts turn inward … to the home, the family, to my self & to my creative practice.
For the past few weeks I’ve started reading a wider variety of books & maintained my nightly drawing sessions. I’ve been forcing myself to seek out the work of other creative types & making a point of catching up with good, fun, positive people.
