Finding the medium-hard difficulty

Earlier this year I took some workout sessions with a personal trainer and something she said has stuck in my head and really changed my viewpoint on things. Whenever I was starting an exercise she would always remind me to check in on how I was feeling and ask myself how hard the exercise felt to me. The goal was to make sure I'm in a place where it's feels like it's medium-hard, not super hard where I burn out and cant complete the full exercise but also not easy to where its not challenging me to grow. Just right over the edge of challenging.

Its been months since those sessions but that analogy has helped me so much in my creative process as I get ready for my events in the fall. I've been reflecting on how far my skills have come as I create these new projects and I'm amazed at what I consider my medium-hard compared to even a year ago. Past Saron would have found all this work a lot more daunting than I do currently. But that's the beauty about finding that difficulty, it progresses as I challenge myself and accomplish more and more.

I'm still in the thick of creating everything that needs to be done for the fair in September and exhibition in October. The coloring book is coming along well and will hopefully be in hand by the end of this month or the beginning of September. My solo exhibition pieces are still in the early stages but once I get through the coloring book those will be the main priority. I've also been working on some small & medium sized original pieces in black & white and color to give me some variety from my big projects. Lots of art to do but I'm also making sure to enjoy as much of the summer as I can so I don't burn myself out.

Thanks for joining me this month! Looking forward to sharing more of my process with you guys next month :)
