As creative professionals it is far too easy to get consumed by the work that we are involved with. In this process we tend to cut ourselves off from society and continue to press on until our work is perfect. I’ve been there and I know that you have too.
One of the biggest things that I have learned about recently has been about self-care. This has definitely been an area where I have struggled in the past and it is something that I have been trying to work on. In doing so, I have seen a big improvement in the work that I am involved with.
A big part of that has been actively participating in community. Recently I made an edit promoting the Seattle Creative League’s holiday party. Ultimately, I felt like this was a fantastic opportunity to use the skills that I have gained to create a short video that gets people excited about the event.
I can’t wait to go to the event next week and learn about how others are trying to be creative.
