In the midst of a weekend getaway, rekindling my passion for painting was a reminder that our passions & ‘me time’ are the secret sauce to surge ahead in the week!
Rediscovering my passion for Batik painting was initially met with a hint of hesitation. I wondered if I could still create those vibrant colors, intricate patterns that used to flow effortlessly from my brush. But, as soon as I dipped that brush into these colors, I realized the magic was still there, waiting to be awakened.
This experience brought forth few lessons beyond the canvas:
Trust in Yourself: Sometimes, we doubt our abilities, but it’s essential to trust that your skills are still within you, waiting to resurface. The spark sometimes might fade, it just needs a little spark to reignite the flame.
Embrace Your Interests: Rediscovering our passions can infuse new perspectives, creativity into our work. It’s like a breath of fresh air for new thinking, problem-solving, innovation.
Work-Life Balance / Energy Boost: ‘Me time’ isn’t just a luxury; it’s a necessity. Self care, making time to nurture your interests, hobbies can energize you, fuel new perspectives. Sometimes stepping away is the key to moving forward.
Nourish Your Soul: Pursue hobbies and passions to find joy and meaning beyond the nine-to-five grind.
Don’t hesitate to immerse yourself in what brings you joy; you might discover captivating colors & patterns along the way. Maximise your weekend, even if it’s just for a brief moment
