Welcome to Smidgen of Calm @Minoo Shinde 🙌🏻 I am so glad your here ❤️

You know when your brain just… buffers? Like an old computer with too many tabs open and absolutely no intention of cooperating. That’s me today. 🫠🫠🫠 Sadly, my body didn’t get the memo… so we’re up, dressed, existing… just without the full management team present 🤦🏻‍♀️ For those who don’t know, I live with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and fibromyalgia. FND basically means my brain and body have a bit of a miscommunication issue… signals get scrambled, delayed, or just don’t arrive at all. Think crossed wires… but make it ✨unpredictable✨. Fibromyalgia adds its own sprinkle… chronic pain, deep fatigue, and that lovely “why do I feel like I’ve run a marathon in my sleep?” feeling. Together? Well… you get days like this. Where words might come out a bit wonky. Where I read something three times and still don’t know what it says. Where my brain just goes, “no thank you, try again tomorrow.” So if I don’t reply… or what I write makes absolutely no sense… Just know: this is very normal for me. And honestly? You are fully invited to laugh with me about it ❤️ Because sometimes the only thing to do when your brain has gone on holiday without you… is make a cup of tea, shrug, and say “fair enough then.” A smidgen of patience. A smidgen of humour. And we carry on 🌿

Over the last couple of days, we’ve been noticing… and catching small moments of creativity as they come. ✨ Today is something a little different. 🧐 Today is about returning. Not starting something new. Not needing a fresh idea. Just… coming back. We so often leave things half done… a thought, a sketch, a note in our phone. Not because they didn’t matter… but because life moved on, or we told ourselves we’d come back later. So this is your gentle invitation… 🫶🏻 ✨ Can you return to something you started? It could be: • a page in your sketchbook • a few words you wrote down • a photo you took • even just a feeling or idea you had And here’s the important part… You don’t need to finish it. You don’t need to make it better. You don’t even need to understand it. Just sit with it again. Add a line. A colour. A word. Or simply look at it and notice what’s there. Because every time you return… you’re building trust in yourself. You’re showing your creativity that it’s safe to stay. And that matters more than any finished piece ever could. 🤍 I’d love to know… what did you come back to today? Here’s mine I am working on I left it at this yesterday and I shall return to it late 💜

We often think creativity is about inspiration… those magical moments where ideas just arrive. But the truth is… creativity is also about showing up. 🙌🏻 Not in a harsh, rigid way… but in a quiet, steady, I’ll meet myself here again kind of way. 🌸 Discipline doesn’t have to mean pressure. It can look like care. 💜🙏🏼 It might be: • opening your sketchbook even when you don’t feel like it • writing one sentence instead of none • sitting with an idea without rushing it • returning to something gently, again and again It’s less about forcing… and more about allowing space for creativity to find you. Because the more we show up… the more creativity begins to trust us. And over time, it becomes less about waiting for inspiration… and more about building a relationship with it.🫶🏻 A soft rhythm. A quiet promise to yourself. Not perfect. Not finished. Just… continued. We don’t need to be intense to be disciplined. We just need to be consistent… even in the smallest ways. So maybe the question isn’t “am I feeling creative today?” But instead… “can I sit with it for a moment anyway?” 🤍
