Being A Whole Person

In this episode, I had a refreshing conversation with Lauren Karpinski, an abstract artist who also practices many healing modalities (massage, acupuncture, reiki, yin yoga), and these things are very integrated for her. Like me, she thinks creativity and wellness are very intertwined, and she shares about how they integrate in her own creative process. We chatted about mindfulness, the value of feeling good, how having fun makes us more productive, working with our natural energy cycles, being flexible in how we engage with creativity, managing anxiety, and letting go of control, among other things. I’m very inspired by Lauren’s playful spirit, her unwillingness to take herself too seriously, and her approach to making art - I hope that hearing from her is also a breath of fresh air for you! ----- If you’re looking for a little creative boost with a very low barrier to entry, I want to remind you about my Feel-Good Creativity Unchallenge - it’s totally free and really fun, with 5 days of bite-size creativity
