Hi Reader,

​

As I watch the chaos around the US election continue to intensify and dysregulate, I keep coming back to a post I made on Instagram a few weeks ago about the power behind nurturing our creativity (and if you’re interested in a free offering I have coming up around nurturing your creativity​ and creative confidence, keep reading).

Lately when the world has felt like too much and I am weary, I go create something.

​

When I feel like I am overwhelmed, uninspired, stuck or waiting for something to happen, I go create something.

​

I’m someone who feels deeply so I’m often weary in this world and I’m a projector, actor and an entrepreneur so I am often waiting.

​

So I’ve been creating a lot lately.

​

This time I created a mini gallery of my own artwork for myself.

​

​

Well, it was actually for the teenage version of myself.

​

The version of myself who didn’t get to focus on art and creativity in middle and high school because I was stressed out and dysregulated trying to be a straight A student, star athlete and fit in with all the white kids.

​

The version of myself who, in between class and practice would go to the art studio and work on the potter’s wheel and tell no one.

​

The version of me whose college essay was about how potter’s wheel saved my life amidst my severe anxiety and depression at the time.

​

So I painted my pictures, mixed my colors, made my frames and hung up my art on my wall and made myself a gallery.

​

A gallery to remind myself that I am always an artist regardless of what is or is not happening around me.

​

A gallery to remind myself that I actually can create different worlds, different realities, not just for myself but for the world around me.

​

An ode to my creativity, the thing that has maybe always been what saves me…….and maybe will help save all of us……..especially right now.

​

This is why I’ll be running The Everyday Artist: 11 Day Free Creative Challenge, from November 1 till November 11.

​

We’ll be starting on the 11/1 New Moon, moving though election time and ending on 11/11.

​

It will be an intentional hour long space to emotionally regulate and get into a creative flow (I’ll be leading group tapping for the first 10-15 minutes), discuss creative prompts + intentions and get into action around something / anything creative in your life.

​

The intention: ground into yourself with emotional regulation, ground into your creative flow / practice through community and tangible, consistent action and build your creative confidence.

​

As we watch the turmoil of our world and all of these old systems breaking down, I'm sure you may be seeing reflections of that in your own personal life.

​

Old patterns, old ways of being, old relationship dynamics, old careers, old dreams and desires.......no longer resonate; they no longer work.

​

Our imagination, our creativity, our ability to dream of new things is what helps us not only build new personal worlds but it also helps our collective dreaming; our collective new world building.

​

And you don't have to be a "trained" artist with grand creative dreams or in the process of creating some sort of great masterpiece out into the world to do this (but you totally can be!).

​

We create for creation's sake; we allow ourselves to be a channel for whatever wants to come through and we see the ways in which that can shape and transform ourselves, our lives, our self-expression and the world around us.

​

We are, everyday artists.

​

Come for the regulation, stay for the joy.

Sending you lots of care,

Bianca
