Getting creative by any means possible

Due to the current situations my creativity has to get creative. Usually this is the season were there would be many festivals and music shows to shoot, but since a lot of them has been cancelled, I have found myself finding other creative outlets.
I have gone back into doing some stock photos, and find some motivations when I saw some pictures had been downloaded. With stock photos you need to get creative by everyday subjects and things and you do not necessarily have to think outside the box all of the time.

Editing YouTube videos has also been a good creative outlet, which has enabled me in concentrating my energy at one task at a time, and also planning and shooting it myself. I just started doing more video this year, just for the purpose of gaining that skill, and boy is it a lot of work! But it is very gratifying seeing your work and vision coming to life. I hope by the end of this year, my editing skills have improved and I have found my style. A dream of mine has always been creating music videos, and hopefully this new skill I am learning could be useful in the long run.

I also feel that working out is in a way a creative outlet for me, I am forming and creating myself. It sounds a bit funny but I feel it is true.

Working out, reading and eating healthy

I have started reading a lot during this time. It has been such a fulfilling thing to be able to soak in all the knowledge from different books and authors. I have found such joy in taking the time of day to read and really immense myself in the text I am reading.

I have also really committed working out, and today I did a double routine and a full hour which made me feel really good. I have noticed that putting small goals in each day, and reaching them, makes me feel very satisfied and it does give me a little boost of confidence and energy to keep going.
I really try to know focus on being creative and really putting the time of day in at the work I want to get done.
Sometimes it is more difficult, but it is also important to allow your mind and body to rest if needed so. I really have a hard time unwinding and relaxing sometimes, so for me just being able to watch YouTube while drinking tea, is really beneficial and something I should not feel bad about.

Furthermore, I have recently gotten interested in Ayurveda. I did a test online (but I reckon it is better to meet a practitioner IRL) But the test put me on Vata Dosha (air and ether) It is really interesting to read about it, and seeing that so much makes sense to me and I have ordered a book called: Ayurveda - The science of self healing. I am so excited to dig deeper at the knowledge and evolve a greater understanding about this. I hope to make my body feel more centered and less worried and anxious in my body and mind.

I hope that my journey towards self discovery will be a great one!

Let's get personal!

I want to share more of my life and thoughts as well as my photographs.

This is going to be the beginning of a more personal side to this page. I have thought about combining my portfolio with more personal content, but always thought it might be messy combining the two.

I am thinking that I should at least try it out and see how it goes. I am doing a lot at the moment creatively and feel like I need outlets for this.
I have started doing some videos for YouTube, and this second I also have started editing some of my photographs that I have put aside.

I feel quite inspired at the moment, even with everything going on and I need to capture that essence and spirit. I am always worried it will disappear, so I try to catch it while I can.

Every morning I have a to do list, and now I added working out to my ever growing list. I try to do stuff that keeps me motivated and make me feel good. I do yoga and meditation on a regular basis, and have now also committed to doing a Chloe Ting challenge. The only one that is stopping me, would be me, and that is not going to happen.
