In praise of slow

I'm still focusing on play and exploration in my sketchbook. I also have lots of ideas for other work I want to create in places other than this sketchbook and I'm making VERY slow progress towards doing that.

Recent periods of low energy have left me feeling really frustrated about not being able to do more and work at a faster pace but I keep reminding myself that self-care is vital (not just for me but for everyone - yes, that includes you!).

And I also keep reminding myself that faster doesn't = better. Slow is OK (and usually preferable). It gives us time to think, to breathe and to notice more, which seems pretty good to me!
