Reading, "Big Magic!" 💖 Are you! Finally started reading it this week! • • • 📖 I'm just in the wee beginning, but so far it's resonating with me! I AM CREATIVE! Without a doubt, I live and breath creativity, but I still get anxious and have fears. After reading the list of typical fears... I laughed and felt reassured. I do have a FEAR of being too fat for social media. OMG! Can't believe, I'm sharing this, but it's true. 😥 I also find myself, during the day feeling like I can do anything and then at night, while lying in bed, I think... no one will respond to my vision. My dream will just stay a dream, why am I bothering when there are more talented people out there. #letsbereal I can't be alone in my anxiety. • • • 📖 I want to thank @astrologica_lo for first introducing me to this book, FOREVER ago. 💖 Also, thank you to @love_light_legacy for suggesting this book as the January read. I recently, joined the #3ltribe and I'm happy I did. ☺️ • • • 💖 This photo is from Leeah, whom I just connected with. She too is on a creative journey. Give her a follow, if you if you feel lead too. Let's support each other! #Repost @leeahaspanda (@get_repost) . . . . #bigmagic #bigmagicbook #livecreatively #januaryread #intention #hope #becreative #keepgoing #journey #maker #artist #teadrinker #believer #iam #teaphasesoracle #reading #teatime

#bigmagic @elizabeth_gilbert_writer writes, in conclusion: “Creativity is sacred, and it’s not sacred. What we make matters enormously, and it doesn’t matter at all. We toil alone, and we are accompanied by spirits. We are terrified, and we are brave. Art is a crushing chore and a wonderful privilege. Only when we are at our most playful can divinity finally get serious with us. Make space for all these paradoxes to be equally true inside your soul, and I promise - you can make anything. So please calm down now and get back to work, okay? The treasures that are hidden inside you are hoping you will say yes.” ***An amazing book that talks to my soul. Thank you for creating this #elizabethgilbert As you say, we don’t need to be given permission to create, but inadvertently, you’ve given me permission to create. You’ve also made me ask the question about what I love so much I don’t care about success or failure. The answer to this currently is that I actually don’t know if I have something like this in my life. So, I will become curious and start delving into things to find this. I think this is what I have been lacking or perhaps more so, what I need at this stage in my life. I am very introspective at the moment. And my heart is grieving. It’s probably the perfect time to delve… Hard as it feels! #bigmagicbook #becomingcurious #livingacreativelife #livingbeyondfear #justcreate https://www.instagram.com/p/CkfJM6TDM-AwNm7HP8ClC0A4nMvCbrh0tZ1xGI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#bigmagic - “Whatever you do, try not to dwell too long on your failures. You don’t need to conduct autopsies on your disasters.” Not to say you shouldn’t look at why it went wrong, but don’t let it make you immobile. “Combination Play - the act of opening up one mental channel by dabbling in another.” When you feel mental blocks try something different or new. Einstein did it and he created amazing stuff, which kinda changed science and stuff… So… 🤷🏼‍♀️😁 ☝🏻 a dump of some of the prose that jumped out at me from the pages I read today! @elizabeth_gilbert_writer #bigmagicbook #livingacreativelife #creativelivingbeyondfear #combinationplay #mobile #dontdwellonfailure #bookstagram #booknerd #fortheloveofbooks #fortheloveofreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CkU5rjTD5fV4tjFZAxkg1iVMMZvkQqIR7FOUgM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On Friday someone posted a list of books for authors. I wish I had made a note of the person but I did not. Whoever posted it, thank you. I received the book today and I cannot put it down. The first story discussed her working the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I live 26 miles from campus and I attended school there for a bit. That drew me in but the information has kept me reading. @elizabeth_gilbert_writer #bigmagicbook #bigmagic #amreading #amresearching #authorslife #writerslife #authorshelpingauthors #writershelpingwriters #findmywritingcommunity #writers (at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CObS9yOLfq2/?igshid=l389zcdslntl

🤔 What Hogwarts House do you belong to? 
I’m Griffindor, 🦁 according to several online tests. I always thought I would be Ravenclaw, because I love learning and school. However, when I thought about it, gambling with my future and livelihood, living the life of an “independent” artist, takes guts. Recently, I heard this quote while listening to “Big Magic” and it really resonated with me. You do not have to be in Griffindor to have courage. That may be too much foolish courage. However, if you have a treasure hidden within you, I too hope you are brave enough to share it with the world. To the creative life! 🥂 P.S. That’s Thalia, the Muse of Comedy from #MythoJuly … #artistslife #creativelife #bigmagicbook #wordsofwisdom #quoteoftheday❤️ #milifayart #muse #museofcomedy #thalia #greekmythology #watercolorandink #portrait #creativeportrait

🧘🏽‍♀️ Love so many lines from the book in my previous post. It’s definitely on my re-read list. . . . . . #qotd #elizabethgilbert #bigmagic #bigmagicbook #elizabethgilbertquotes #elizabethgilbertwriter #elizabethgilbertbigmagic #elizabethgilbertquote #eatpraylove #riyadhlife #riyadhguide #riyadhblogger #goodread #readabook #readinglist #creativity (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAdXNfnBXz7/?igshid=y2blvv33g8vn

📚 It’s been a long time since a book has had me captivated enough to finish it as fast as I did. Absolutely a thrill when that happens and I get to feel how the ‘book enthusiasts’ feel; that excitement, that sense of getting lost in a book, that feeling of flowing into imagination or in this case, a thought process. . As for the review of this book, in short, it’s a ‘holy book’ for the creatives of this world. I was amused by how @elizabeth_gilbert_writer captured and walked us through all the aspects and struggles of a creative mind along with how she handles them, and I honestly believe it’s how it should always be handled. . Definitely an amazing read for anyone who feels joy in creating absolutely anything regardless of whether creativity is part of your day job or not. . I don’t have the actual book, now I wish I did haha but it’s cuz I use and prefer @audible for reading/listening to audiobooks. I already started with my next book. It feels great to be reading again. I’d love to hear your recommendations if you have any. Like a novel with a captivating storyline? 🤔 . I also think it’s the perfect book to gift a creative individual that you know, adore and care for. 👌🏽🎁 . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . . . . . 📷: @aholdfullofbooks #browngirlreviewsa #bigmagicbook #bigmagic #elizabethgilbert #elizabethgilbertquote #creativeprocess #creativity #bangladeshiblogger #lifestyleblogger #bookstagram #bookreview #readingisfun #readmore #createeveryday #creativelifehappylife #creativelife #creativeminds #creativemind #mindset #positivity #positivityiskey #creativeliving #consciousdiscipline #jarirbookstore #disciplineovermotivation #selfhelpbook #selfquarantined #mentalhealth #riyadhguide #goodread (at Diplomatic Quarters KSA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAcGn2fh8py/?igshid=8yy0mr0in842
