This video has been two months in the making ⸺ the longest amount of time I've ever devoted to a single creative project! It marks the process of me divorcing myself from the external pressures and limiting timelines that I've historically placed upon my creative process. With social media works especially... there exists such a push towards 'publish as much as possible, now do it faster!' - an urgency that never, ever felt good to engage with. Consciously slowing down to work collaboratively with my body AND the creative spirit behind this project was not always a simple task, but I was committed! I'm happy to report that not even a second of this video was created from a forceful energy! ? Through the creation of this video diary, I learned and grew in many ways, even switching editing softwares partway through! I started editing this project on Final Cut Pro X (the editor I've been using for the past 6 years) but shifted to Adobe Premiere Pro & Da Vinci Resolve when I was about a quarter of the way through... a huuuuge level up for my workflow (and quite the learning curve lol)! Our creative works serve as vessels that take us from one version of ourselves, to another. The more time and presence and space I offered to this work... the more time and presence and space I learned how to offer myself. In terms of the actual contents of this video... it is a vlog that follows me through a week in my life in late November 2023. My conceptual intention behind making my vlogs is to highlight and learn to revere the mundane beauty of my day-to-day human existence. I hope that you enjoy receiving this work, as much as I enjoyed making it! May it inspire YOUR next transformational creative journey.

Your structures won’t be sustainable unless you implement some flexibility! That’s what this episode is all about. After devoting the last 2.5 months to forming new daily + weekly routines & habits, it’s time I test their (and my own) flexibility. This episode is a personal life update + teaching all in one. ? ::LINKS:: ⸺ Join me in Overflow (A mystery school for women that desire to approach creative living & successful entrepreneurship from a nourished place): https://www.areegechaudhary.com/overflow-the-mystery-school ⸺ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/areegechaudhary/ ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EioMjtAX_mg
