Feeling Stuck?!
Summer break is over, and I hope you had a great and inspirational one, just like me!
And now?
Back to work and back to normal – I wished!
But: I feel stuck!
Yes, my label CUBELIN is all about inspiration. But honestly, right now, I have no idea in which direction to go further.
In my head I have tons of ideas I would love to elaborate and I try to work them out. But I can´t see the connection and how I can relate them with my business.
I always hear those judging questions in my head:
„Gabi, why are you starting to weave now? This doesn´t make any sense!“
„How on earth will you earn money with painting a chair – and are you particularly allowed to do that ?
„May I use acrylics on textiles, or will something terrible happen if I do so?
And though I keep telling myself YES, YES, YOU ARE ALLOWED!….I feel like constantly breaking the rules and this is really exhausting.
So how can I deal with that?
I was lucky to find some great advice by a rock musician you still might know from that wonderful 80s band, The Eurythmics: Dave Stewart.
He is offering it in the free App „Creativity lite“, and it´s actually an excerpt from his book „Business Playground“.
If you feel anything like me, stuck and not seeing the point in doing what you´re doing, it´s really worthwile listening to it.
Here´s the link to the app (it might only work on an Ipad!):
Just listening to those short stories was so helpful for me to feel better about what I am doing now. (Even if I still don´t know, where this is leading me to.)
And I keep on experimenting!
I´m also still looking for the best and most useful way of sharing ideas and inspirations with you.
Writing these letters means a lot to me, as they feel like an important part of my journey.
Thank you for being with me and I will keep in touch!
Lots of love!
Gabi
Liebe Gabi,
zunächst einmal entschuldige ich mich für eventuelle zigfache E-Mailadressen von mir, hier, über Deine Seite. Ich habe etwas öfters die E-Mail Adresse versucht einzugeben…und es funktionierte irgendwie nicht so recht…
Ja, eine sehr schöne Seite und eine sehr schöne Idee. Ich hatte zum erstenmal diese „Bilderwürfel“ am Samstag in der Galerie im Stilwerk gesehen und bewundert. Ich war mit einer Freundin unterwegs gewesen und spontan in der Galerie gestrandet…wir hatten uns auch sehr nett unterhalten.
Ich bin deshalb gerade vom cubelin fasziniert, die Idee und deren Umsetzung, so dass ich im Moment keine Idee für eine Erweiterung oder Neuerung parat habe……aber…..Ideen kommen mit der Zeit….und wenn ich eine erhalte, sende ich Sie weiter an Dich.
Herzliche Grüße und eine gute Zeit mit guten Begegnungen und Inspirationen
wünscht Jenny Sperling
