Welcome Back To My Space
Hello beautiful people! I hope you are all doing well. I am so excited to welcome you back to my blog.
The Journey So Far
So, last week I extended an invitation to you to follow me on a special, three weeks journey I was embarking on. I remember saying that it was not a physical journey, per say, but a creative journey in which I would be sharing about the unearthing of the treasures inside me. I remember saying that this would be the first time for me to challenge myself in such a way (when it comes to post creation). I have never used three weeks to work on just one post before! You may have to read this post for more details about it.
In this post however, I would love to share my experience so far, especially as regards the impact of the CWH-Dreemport collaboration on my creative work.
My Captains/Guides/Pilots
Have you ever found yourself feeling stuck, not even knowing how or where to begin? That was me, until Captain Dreemie (@dreemsteem) came to the rescue by dropping this post her. You can imagine all the light bulbs that came on for me, hehe!
Then adding the times spent with another wonderful Captain AW (@alessandrawhite) during the creative work hour sessions! The mentoring and nurturing is amazing on its own. Talk about deep levels of creativity unlocked when you just learn to relax and just be!
Creative Hour Sessions And PYPT
Finding a safe place where I am not afraid to ask questions about things I do not understand or know how to use, being encouraged to ask for help or feedback, and being able to share what you are working on without feeling embarrassed... these are just a few of what the creative work hour sessions and PYPT have done for me.
Digging Deeper
I have come to realise more and more that when crafting and creating content, not just for posting on Hive but for whatever needs to be done, there is need for a deeper level of connection.
As someone who is overly busy on a daily basis, I appreciate the reminder to connect to my source of creativity in rest and quietness, knowing that everything is and will continue to be fine. This is what happens during the meditation and mindfulness that happens when we meet in the Discord channel of The Creative Work Hour community for some mini activation (more like major activation, haha).
What's More
There is always something new to learn from other crew members. Whether it is the seemingly ceaseless chatting in the text channel of Dreemport during PYPT, or the fewer exchanges in the chat-dreemers-cwh channel of CreativeWorkHour on discord, there is something new. Particularly, I have learnt more about some software that I will be needing as I continue to evolve in my creative experience.
I have also been finding it easier to deal with procrastination and perfectionism, having realised that I am not in a competition with anyone but rather on a journey that is already manifesting as self-improvement.
Finally
This Challenge will be ending next week. I can't wait to share more about my work then. But right now, the parts are coming together like the pieces of a puzzle that are being arranged to fit and align.
Thank you for reading to this point. I, @ngwinndave, wrote this post. Your time spent here is much appreciated. Please feel free to leave a comment and I will get back to you.
