Now would be a great time to back off the day-to-day and do some high-level brand strategizing. Have you thought through your target audience for your art? Do you have a sense for the niche you want to occupy and why itâs a good fit for you? Is your content / pfp / tellie site all giving a coherent story that people will understand?
Maybe this weekend you do a little creative retreat: Grab some palo santo and singing bowls*, steal some of your younger brotherâs (admittedly mid) weed, and take your meditation to a new level. At the very least itâll make you feel better about all the spirituality books you ordered during the pandemic and never got around to opening.
*If you actually need a sound bath, be sure to hit up the queen Violetta! You can listen back to her most recent meditation & sound healing here (about an hour in) during Jadyn Violetâs UVR space.
