Friday Thread : Tending to our Self Esteem in the studio and beyond

HOW DO YOU TEND TO YOUR SELF ESTEEM?

What rituals do you do daily, weekly, monthly, seasonally, or yearly to root you into an unshakeable sense of self?

When a relationship, experience, or situation illuminates a part of you that wants to get small again : how do you return to a feeling of wholeness?

As I explore ways of tending to myself as Spring is in full swing, I notice my self esteem getting chipped away as I am repeating a few old habits.

The loops of patterns seem to be in their classic “healing is non linear” phase and to be non poetic : it feels annoying. I am annoyed at the ways parts of me still seem activated by space in relationships, income dips, and stepping away from my practice.

What ways do you maintain consistency in esteemable acts and feeling content with where you are at?

How does feeling good about yourself, or not, become a part of your creative practice?

Friday Threads are where we come together as a community to share ideas, visions, and resources

P.S. I’d love to see you this Sunday at The Art of Beginning live on zoom (and recorded if you can’t make it live)

Starting mid June we will be using threads to have a book study for each week of The Artist’s Way : exact dates coming soon, and we will have two zooms to gather live and discuss.
