https://Art2Life.com - How do you reconnect with your artistic practice when you’ve taken some time out from it? 

This week, I’m digging into the three central challenges that can disrupt your flow: studio disconnection, the swift drop in self-confidence when you take time away from artistic practice, and the ever-present comparison trap. 

As artists, breaks can often lead to a temporary disconnect, making it challenging to return to making art with enthusiasm. I’m sharing my advice for facing and embracing the uncertainties of rekindling your creative spirit after a pause. Resistance to getting back into the studio is normal, but these strategies will help you work through it and maintain and start up your creative practice again.
