Mmmm... Mindset, self-love, imperfection, and rest.

Things to make you go Mmmm…

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”


Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.


3 for you:

The power of the mind.

"Beware the stories you read or tell; subtly, at night, beneath the waters of consciousness, they are altering your world." - Ben Okri


Love yourself.

“The source of healthy boundaries is self-love and self-respect. When you learn to love yourself, you are less likely to put up with people who don't love you back.” - James Clear


Perfectionism is killing your happiness.

“It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life … perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping stone just right, you won’t have to die.

The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren’t even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they’re doing it.” - Anne Lamott


1 from me

Take Creative Rest.

“Creativity isn’t just about doing - it’s also about being. Pushing too hard without rest can drain your imagination.

Downtime isn’t wasted time; it’s where ideas quietly connect and new insights emerge.

Step away, take a walk, listen to silence. Let your mind breathe. Rest isn’t a break from creativity - it’s part of the process.

Recharge, and watch how fresh ideas start flowing again.”
