I didn't finish anything new this week, so I'm sharing a piece I started last year. I still need to go back and add the finishing touches, but I kind of like it as it is now.
What do you like to do to release your creative energy?

We rewatch the same shows because the predictability soothes our anxiety. But today, try changing the channel. Watch a documentary or a new comedy and remind yourself how fascinating the world really is. 📺🌍 #ExpandYourMind #ComfortZone

Music feeds the soul, but listening to the same 50 songs on repeat keeps you stuck in a rut. Challenge your brain by listening to a genre you normally ignore and see what happens. 🎧🎶 #MusicTherapy
