Tips for Artists (like me) with ADHD, Anxiety & SMi

1. Grounding Practices: Share simple tricks like mindful breathing, pausing for gratitude, and journaling creative process.

2. Holding Space: Offer guidance on self-compassion and honoring your own emotional flow, while being present for others' feelings—without heavy expectations.

3. Empathy Check-Ins: Use open-ended questions (“How are you feeling about your project?”) rather than judgment or assumptions. Celebrate all forms of creative effort.

Balance Creativity with Conformity

The world isn’t always built for artists. Here are a few tools to help you and your audience see eye to eye, increasing understanding and avoiding confusion.

Creative Workshop

Welcome to the Digital Age

• Paper vs. Digital Gifts: In a world of instant texts and likes, a handcrafted card stands out like a shooting star. It’s intimate, tactile, and can be cherished for years.

• Is Handmade Bizarre? Not at all—real-world connection is in high demand! You’re likely to be remembered fondly for making the effort.

• Connecting New Friends: Bringing your genuine self through creative effort builds real relationships, not just followers.
