Getting Grounded

So we are now into February and some of us are probably trying to hang on to our New Year's Resolutions...if you are like me, I haven't given up on mine, I am just seemingly having to work harder at getting grounded in the day-to-day! While I am one who loves journals, notebooks and sketchbooks, I also embrace technology to help me and if not using the general note app that comes with my phone, I also use Evernote...the popular and wonderful resource to keep track of all of my loose ends, thoughts, ideas, plans, stuff and sometimes, admittedly... junk!

When I get overwhelmed I always turn to a few coaches for their perspectives, their blogs typically turn me around quickly! A few of my favorite biz-coaches' blogs are:  Alyson Stanfeld's www.artbizcoach.com; Mary Edwards' www.coachingforartists.com and Lesley Riley's Practical Grounding for the Creative Spirit at www.lesleyriley.com!  All three of these women come from a creative background and can completely relate to the fears, roadblocks, derailments that artists face! Check them out if you too are struggling to get grounded...many offer mini or extended workshops, webinars and one-on-one counseling to get your creative caboose back on track! Good luck getting grounded!
