When I think about my art pieces being displayed in each individuals (or interior designer's) space they are creating it brings me a great sense of not only accomplishment but also happiness to think it is bringing enjoyment and a sense of beauty from what I have created.
I believe that when you regularly do something that you love you gain mental health balance, by stimulating your endorphins which gives a greater sense of being whole and balanced.
Recently I have started experimenting with designing and putting my artwork on various pieces of clothing (all mine). This has had a surprising and ongoing outcome for my creative side, I am finding that pieces of clothing that I have not worn for a long time are now becoming favourites again (with a new lease of life and look to them). The other bonus of this is I am saving heaps on not having to purchase items to refresh my wardrobe!
I now have my sights set on creating some beautiful one off cushion covers that compliment my art pieces - I am extremely excited to get creating!!!
Another area I love and am so lucky to be able to do is helping business owners and employees through my consulting business. Being able to inspire, assist when there are communication issues, educating for growth and working on positive business culture gives me so much satisfaction every day (even when I have to perform difficult conversations or performance management). I am lucky that I am able to see the results of my consulting work, seeing positive outcomes and enthusiasm every day!
The point of sharing this with you is to inspire you to really think about what you love doing and start doing it! You never really know where it will take you but the journey is wonderful as well as good for your mental health.
So I will post a couple of my art pieces so you can see what I do through my 'Designs by GML' business. If you want to see more, head over to my facebook page @designsbygml or Instagram - Designs by GML or even my website: http:designsbygml.wordpress.com
Hope you have a wonderful day and find and start doing what you love!!!
