Is your self-worth tangled up with how much you GET DONE every day? Do you feel guilty when you rest? https://ericalayne.co/productivity-and-your-self-worth/ This message is for the doers, the hustlers, the steady, non-stop workers.

“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger than reason.

I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go.

Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another.
🍁
No more walls.”

May I live this day
Compassionate of heart,
Clear in word,
Gracious in awareness,
Courageous in thought,
Generous in love.

Art Therapy is a nice way to channel your emotions in creative artmaking.

Palestinian artist Minah Hamouadah is channeling her feelings about the trauma she has witnessed and experienced into art, as she's sheltering in a school in Deir al Balah, Gaza.

I love the documentary movie about Yayoi Kusama. She was suffering from depression. She was a pioneer in art, and like a lot of women was dismissed. She appears to have made it! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19ydUGVov5/

"If I do not create art, I will die." – Yayoi Kusama (96 years old)
Despite her long struggle with hallucinations, she transformed those difficult experiences into a source of inspiration that made her one of the world’s most important artists.
