Summer Slump

7/24/2015

It is a thing and I am certain that I have it.

It is being full of good intentions and having no motivation.

It is feeling like you are swimming in a circle.

It is also known as ennui. Not boredom, not depression, just feeling listless. Embodying the meh.

How do you get your groove back?

I have determined that burying myself in books is enjoyable, but not the answer.

I am trying to get back into a daily art practice, which I am finding helpful.

Journaling is always good. Capturing colors & playing with composition here.

Pay attention! You may see this again.

I am also working on some projects that I hope to turn into tutorials.

And I am trying to learn some new things, spend time with loved ones, and remember that ennui never lasts.
