Befriend the discomfort. Listen to what your emotions are telling you.
Only by understanding can we process and move on.
This may take repeated attempts.

'That which we call failure is really that necessary struggle called learning.’
Sometimes we forget that learning how to paint and draw is a process, and there will be times when things don't work out. That doesn't mean you have failed, it just means you've learned either a technique that wasn't right for the project. Or learned that a certain colour mix doesn't give you the colour you were hoping for! So when you see a waste paper basket full of discarded artwork, look on it as full of learning rather than full of failures.

Yes, time is finite, but sometimes we get a small gift of time, as with last night’s end of daylight saving.

Don’t forget that along with the clocks in our home, our body clocks also need to adjust.

One way to speed that along is to get outdoor light in the morning, since sunlight helps regulate our circadian rhythms.
