The Thriving Women Artists are back from holiday! So naturally the topic of discussion this week is how to continue your projects after a break. Tune in for tips from Sarah, Ping, and Dorien on how they get back not just into the working habit, but the artistic mindset after having a break too. 



KEY TAKEAWAYS
Reorganising, reconnecting, and reframing are the three things that Ping does when she is coming back to her work after a vacation. 
To get back into the creative mindset, why not try something just a little creative rather than just jumping straight back in head first. 
When you come back from holiday you can use all of those great things you’ve been working on in your travel journal to inspire you to start something new. 
Try to finish an old project before you go off on vacation, it can be hard to get back into the same mindset you were in before when you were working on the piece. Getting everything finished before you go can be a bit stressful. 
Sarah finds it helpful to spend a day when she gets back just doing the things she needs to do like laundry etc instead of just getting straight back into work. It’s a little bit of self care. 





BEST MOMENTS

‘If I don’t have busy hands then I have a busy mind’ 

‘You don’t want to jump into panic mode’ 

‘If there’s too much pressure I will not do any good work’

‘Take mini steps and just have fun with it’
