Why Creative Habits Are the Secret to Sustainable Art

[@LyndaBlackARtiSt]

EXCELLENT tips !! I'm an ARtiSt- BUT i think * EVERYONE * can benefit from being creative in their life !! ♡ thank you for the video =)

[@tigralon]

Anna, you have exactly the combination of gentle kindness and firm encouragement that we creative types need! (At least, that I need!) Subscribed, and I can't wait for more of your videos. (Also, your end blooper was the most human and wonderful thing 😊)

[@lynnoorman2144]

Ah - the pushing to get back on the waggon! Both with my yoga and my writing. Need to do this to be happy. Subscribed!

I love this! 10 guidelines that were clear and connected. Thank you. I keep a tracker space in my bulletin journal when for when I take the time to do something creative. It is very self confirming of how well I am creating a habit. I love the point of starting small, break it down. I am returning to my art practice after a long time ignoring it because, as you said, life happens. I am not creating huge expectations for my practice, but creating opportunities and space to do a little each day. Am I where I want to be with my art practice? No but I have the proof of trying. This makes it easier to keep going. Thank you for your vlog post!

I am so happy to hear you're creating again! Life does happen and I think of pauses as part of my practice now. I came down with a mild cold this week (husky voice in latest vid haha) and haven't finished this painting by the end of the month like I wanted to. But slowly-slowly. I'm cheering you on! ❤️

These are all thoughts I’ve had but never been able to articulate. Your energy is so so beautiful. I needed this right now, and here you are. So much love from my heart to yours. ❤

Great tips, cheerfully imparted!

I'm so glad to read this! xx

[@natashad8618]

I so needed this! Been beating myself up for not keeping up my writing habit during a house move, this is helping me be kinder to myself ❤

[@aniafedorova]

Wow we can be hard on ourselves! A house move! Now tell me how will you celebrate everything you've done and gently bring your routine back when you've rested enough and feel ready?

[@catlover-e3b]

Just watching your channel gives me energy... thank you.

[@aniafedorova]

[@Birb_Town]

This is so well spoken and nicely edited I'm surprised you aren't more popular

[@aniafedorova]

Aw thank you so much! This means the world to me. xx

[@AmandaP77IOW]

i love words like 'crap' lol. great video and nice to see the ' be still and know that i am God' in the background 💝💝

[@aniafedorova]

Haha love the linguistic path we're embarking on here. Crap is such a funny little word, isn't it? Something crisp about it.

[@helend-x9j]

This is helpful

[@aniafedorova]

Oh I'm so happy I could help! xx

[@hb4196]

Great content. Love your energy, beautiful self, and beautiful setting. But I find your continual use of big hand and arm movements very distracting, and unfortunately wound up listening instead of watching. I did subscribe!.

[@Verdadesquesanan]

Maybe because of the camera angles, also wide angle shots.

[@aniafedorova]

Aw bless you! I DO move my hands a lot, don't I? I'll probably continue because I take up a lot of space but I'll make sure to keep my sound on point so you can always podcast my content ❤️

[@aniafedorova]

Nah I'm just annoying like that haha IRL too! I send things flying with my big hand gestures at parties etc.

[@ameliaheart5091]

@@aniafedorovaI personally love the big hand movements haha! It helps me stay engaged and give a ‘visual’ aspect to what you’re saying. However what distacted me a bit in the video was the side-shot where you’re not looking in the camera while talking to us, it feels slightly disconnective - but maybe that’s jusr me! Also love the rest of the video setting visuals etc!!

[@tigralon]

@@ameliaheart5091 agreed, I loved the big hand movements!! It helped my ADHD brain stay focused and tuned in to what you were saying.
