I started The Artist's Way this week after having it referred by a few friends. It outlines a path and tools for creative discovery that can also be used for creative recovery from burnout. Still in the very early stages but it may be worth looking into!

Read part of The Artist's Way and liked the idea of artist dates and the way it reframes "treat yoself" from hedonic self care to eudaimonic self care (learned those big words from this podcast: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7CgHnfi4Wiy3Lh7Ngajd5h)

Thanks for sharing; I will listen to this today! I have my first Artist Date tonight. That differentiation is often so muddied (if not outright ignored) and I'm excited to hear it unpacked.

I empathize deeply. I will always know "why" before I know "how." Thank you for sharing!

Have you read Big Magic or The Practice? I have not read either but I’ve heard both are good about the creative process
