I'm the same Amber! Whenever I sit down there's always this niggly little thought that I should be doing something productive! Do we think men ever feel this though...?!
I think it's quite a common feeling creatives share, regardless of gender. I have to remind myself rest is productive—creativity thrives when we have enough rest and play. Just to let you know, Emma—you're not alone in this and you are enough! ♥️
Oh I know this flu so well! I get it also when I've been spending time away from my desk or things that weren't even holidays or of my choosing. How crazy is that? I will try and slow down with you too. Thank you for another timely and important reminder Amber!
We treat rest like a debt we have to pay off, when in reality, sitting at a desk out of guilt just burns out the inner artist.
I love the phrase “burns out the inner artist”. We have to keep reminding ourselves—rest doesn’t need to be earned.

You are allowed to rest Amber 💙 write that down on a post it and make it visible for you!
Thanks Teresa! Make it visible is really helpful!☺️
