Finding 'Vacation Energy' during a Global Pandemic

As much as I tried to create a deeper meaning behind this painting. I could not. I say it is due to, what I call " Vacation Energy" (Something I made up, but a valid mindstate to have). Vacation energy is the ability to find a mental state of relaxation that is not contingent on particular surroundings. Especially useful during the time of a global pandemic. My vacation energy is comprised of me turning off my analytical, note-taking, "55 minutes to get it done" self OFF. Then turning ON my vacation energy, which is a mixture of movie therapy, mindless scrolls through Youtube, and reading Michael Todd's "Relationship Goals." The result of a few days of focusing in on vacation energy, I created this masterpiece of a painting (That I learned how to do on Youtube). This spaceWomen painting spoke to me. I'm not exactly sure what it said, but I listened and recreated it. I'll let the interpretation stuff be up to you this time. Tell me what you see, and give it a try yourself! (Link down below)


An inspiring motivational quote I read from an article titled "6 Creative Ways to Spread Kindness During the Coronavirus" is to "Reflect. Recalibrate. Then, Rise." Please take this advice like I did and enjoy what you can during these uncertain times.

 

New Vocabulary

Vacation energy: The ability to find a mental state of relaxation that is not contingent on particular surroundings. Especially useful during the time of a global pandemic. 


Movie Therapy: watching any kind of film and simultaneously putting your own life scenarios in the scenes to gain a new perspective or feel a sense of connection.
