Won't Stop, Just Go!

To start off here's some art I've done of my main gal, Rosie!

You’re more than what you make.

Your productivity does not determine your value.

It’s okay to do nothing sometimes.

Not everything you do has to result in a product.

Not everything you make has to be important, significant, or even good.

You can make things just for yourself.

You can keep secrets for yourself, whether it’s not posting some of your projects or not sharing your techniques.

You’re allowed to say no.

Inspiration doesn’t cure burnout. Rest cures burnout.

People will wait for you; take your time and come back when you are ready.

It’s okay to scrap projects that no longer excite you, even if other people like them.

It’s delightful and excellent to be openly proud of your work.

Afford yourself the same gentleness that you would afford another creative - negative self-talk is counterproductive and frankly cruel.

Self-indulgent creations are satisfying to others as well; don’t apologize for your own pleasure.

The time you put into unfinished work, or work that didn’t turn out the way you wanted, isn’t wasted. No matter what, that experience will stay with you and help you on future projects.

You are always improving, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Don’t be afraid to try something different. Even if it turns out poorly, you’re learning, and learning is good.

You can always try again later.

Don’t throw away your art. When you look back on it in the future, it will help you see how far you’ve come, and you might even find yourself more proud of it in the future than you feel right now.

Long breaks won’t erase the skill you’ve gained, and taking time to rest and do different things will help in the long run.

If you post something and it doesn’t get a lot of interaction, that isn’t a reflection of the value of your work.

When you create, create for yourself first and foremost.

The Dreemurr Family is based on goats, Undyne is based on a fish, Alphys is based on some sort of lizard, etc.

That being said, I don't really know what Susie is supposed to be based on? I don't think it's been confirmed anywhere. Her fangs make me think she's some sort of reptilian monster, and I see a lot of people drawing her like that, too.

Solar Flare

elderberry

ashwagandha

echinacea

spirulina

alfalfa

chlorella

moringa

spirulina plantensis

aphanizomenon flos-aquae

mung bean

omega-3 fatty acids (shown to reduce autoimmune activity and even reduce the chance of developing autoimmune disease altogether; krill oil is especially effective against autoimmunity)

vitamin D (also reduces risk of developing autoimmune disease, especially in combination with omega-3)

turmeric

ginger

That's not a supplement! That's just regular Asian diet (noodles, filled pastries, etc)! Whoever is trying to sell you mung bean as a supplement is clearly trying to cheat you out of all your money! It's just a plant protein! It won't magically boost your immune system!
