There’s an inevitable moment in any creative’s journey where the juices stop flowing and we reach a state of inertia. Maybe you’ve noticed it, or maybe – even more dangerously – you haven’t! Either way, acting before we hit rock bottom is critical. Tricia explores how to avoid inertia creeping into our craft and how we can empower ourselves to make a change to embrace more creativity without completely upturning our lives.How can you continue to surprise and delight your creative self?Follow me on Instagram @intenyearstimeofficialMentioned in this episode:One of the biggest mistakes today is confusing inertia with loyalty by Colin Shaw (Article)How to overcome the everyday battle against inertia by Bertrand Wong (Article)Untamed by Glennon Doyle (Book)How monitoring your mood can help your mental health (Blog by Calm)The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron (Book)Support me with a donation https://www.intenyearstime.com/donate Emotions Tracker Template https://www.intenyearstime.com/_files/ugd/90f963_dd0ff6dfb12c48d387c8ae5c014713cf.pdf If you require mental health support please contact Samaritans on 116 123 Hosted on Acast.

The Why of Creativity
Summer is over and Tricia is back with a fifth series of the In Ten Years Time podcast all about maintaining your creativity. It's not unusual to set out on your creative journey and find that sustaining the momentum is actually pretty hard. Some people wonder why they don't feel happy all the time, and others get disappointed if they don't hit the big time straight away. What if neither of these mindsets is quite right? Tricia is here to guide you towards finding new inspiration, help you build good habits and identify the non-negotiable 'why' that will feed your creative engines with the fire you need to keep going, even when times are tough.Follow me on Instagram @intenyearstimeofficialMentioned in this episode:The Success Myth by Emma Gannon (Book)Discipline is Destiny by Ryan Holiday (Book)Mindset by Carol Dweck(Book)The Grief Cure: Looking for the end of loss by Cody Delistraty (Book)Interview with Patti Smith (Dazed Digital Magazine)Drawing on the right side of the brain by Betty Edwards (Book and Website)Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life by Arnold Schwarzenegger (Book)Support me with a donation https://www.intenyearstime.com/donate Hosted on Acast.

The Interview: Finding Communion with Laura Edralin
In the final episode of the series Tricia speaks to calligrapher, artist, creative coach and community builder Laura Edralin. Growing up in an artistic household Laura has always had creativity in the blood, but it wasn’t until later in life and leaving a well-established career that she discovered calligraphy. First as a form of recovery and healing, and second as a passion that grew into a business, Laura tells Tricia about how her love of letters has transformed her life and many others. What can we gain from slowing down? From trying something new with others? From vulnerability?Mentioned in this episode:Follow Laura on Instagram on @lauraletterslife and her podcast @thelifeoflettersCheck out Alphabetical by Michael RosenWintering by Katherine MayYou’re Dead to Me podcastRebel Ideas by Matthew SyedSupport me with a donation Hosted on Acast.
