Hi, guys!
One more day. They still stretch endlessly, and my psyche, apparently, is still trying to protect me, and I always want to sleep. But at least I have already begun to cope with the necessary minimum.
When it all started, I couldn’t eat at all, but I started sleeping a lot right away. And now it really interferes - I would like to start returning functionality to myself. During this period, I once met with my psychotherapist, and she recommended not to go into the defense mechanisms of the psyche, at least for now. That is, agree with your body.
I agree and try to give him as much as I can. Of course, it would be ideal to get more movement and fresh air, but I managed to get a little sick, so I don’t have such an opportunity yet. This means that only minimally productive things remain. In my case, this is, for example, a blog that I am writing right now.
I have been blogging for about six years now, I try to do it every day, no matter the situation. This makes for a good anchor that allows me to feel stable in an ever-changing environment. And now I place exactly the same hopes on the blog that writing it will be able to keep me afloat, giving me some kind of static reference point.
I still do not lose hope that creativity will again become such an anchor. Yesterday I did some ink line art for the sketch I showed you yesterday. Despite the fact that everything looks very, very simple so far, this is a huge breakthrough for me, not so long ago I could not even draw a line.
Today I hope to continue the work and either expand the line art or start working with color.
Previously, I would never have allowed myself to stretch out a simple illustration for several days. But now the reality is different, the conditions are different, and we have to agree that we need to be more delicate with ourselves. Therefore, I will stretch, and I will hope that I have enough strength to bring everything to the final result.
See you in the next post!
Love, Inber
The condition you find yourself at the moment is the type that kills people's morale and enthusiasm, but somehow, you've managed to keep your emotions in check through your art works.
That's a fabulous thing to do. I still wish for everything to get settled as soon as possible so that you all can find peace again. Nonetheless, I'm glad you have something to keep you going.
Thank you for your support:)
