hand>brain

the good thing about not being able to think straight is that your instincts kick in for you. sitting down to draw or paint or create when your mind is preoccupied with a million other problems in your life is one of the harder things about trying to create. when this happens to me, i try to remember that it's your brain that can't get it together, not your hand. i have learned that magic happens when you shut down that thinking part in your mind and just let your hand do it's thing. you don't need an idea or a plan- you just need your hands and your muscle memory. your body always knows what it is supposed to do. don't think, just do!!
