Do you schedule creative downtime?
I was listening to Dom D’Agostino and he was talking about the importance of taking creative downtime. He thinks it’s important to keep balanced. I agree and I need to practice this more. I get too caught up in work sometimes and forget that inspiration and fresh...
How can I get my 3 Brains to agree?
Have you heard of the theory of the 3 “Brains”? Those being your head (obviously) plus your heart and gut. People are often surprised to learn that the heart and gut have neurons, like the brain. Now not all neurons are brain cells and not all brain cells are neurons....
The Bliss of celebrating Small Wins and the bonus of reaching towards your goals
It is similar to what Ed Mylett describes as becoming immune to the ‘average’. The average becomes like an anaesthetic; over time we dull to it and become accepting. In line with this idea, he lives by a quote from Malcolm X: “That which you do not hate, you will...

Can a Colouring Book, and specifically what illustration I colour, help me decrease stress and anxiety?
Did you colour as a child? How about as an adult?! Not so common. Despite how ubiquitous it was in childhood, adult colouring is a very new hobby that has gained in popularity dramatically just this decade. Believe it or the first research on using colouring as...
How to maintain a Growth Mindset when Doubts creep in?
I was listening to Rich Roll and he was discussing the concept of growth mindset with Tom Bilyeu. Tom believed from a young age that his talents were not fixed. He could become skilled at anything that he set his mind to and worked at. I think this is true - I just...
Developing a Growth Mindset and not being married to your First Idea
Your first idea is rarely your best. This is what my professor from design school used to say to use all the time. At first I found it rather frustrating when I had worked on what I thought was a great concept or design, and he'd tell me to re-evaluate my initial...
How can I break this down to something more manageable?
I'm on the topic of overwhelm still. I really like this analogy. It helps me to picture breaking down a problem into smaller bite size pieces when I feel overwhelmed. It feels just like this when we have a big snow storm in Canada. I never have this problem living in...

Do you have too many to-do’s on your list? Maybe a Brain Dump will help.
I find this works really well when I’m overwhelmed. It’s called “relief writing” and it’s like a brainstorming session for your feelings. We did this during my Doodle Colour Discover Workshop at Cafe Mila the other week where we were thinking about our plans for the...
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Is your office a war-zone?
Tea and biscuits were definitely one of my key ways of dealing with pressure at work. Actually, brownies, date squares and peanut butter cookies made a regular appearance too! There are better ways though. I wish I had some of the tools I have now back then. Melissa...
Is stress making your Controllables out of Control?!
This feels like a lesson I can never reinforce enough in myself. What can I actually control. My thoughts, my feelings, my words and my behaviours. The workshop that Melissa and I give has a terrific exercise for being aware of this and making changes. I feel like I...
