Sea Lemon you are amazing❤❤❤❤
Ur amazing just love u😍😘❤❤❤
Thx for ur heart ur great

Sea Lemon I love u soooooooooooooooooo much
Return to what brought you to the dance. When I feel myself drifting from my craft...I just remember what got me interested in the first place, and I return to that. Works like a charm for me every time.
i was going to draw you because of art block and suddenly a notification of your video
reads title
YOUR NEW CANNEL NAME
ART MIND READER
This video helped me a lot. I've been stuck in an art block for months and now I know how to get rid of it! Thank you so much for this video
Why isn't Sea Lemon at a million subs yet!? Let's do this people... share share share!
How are you so wise for such a young girl! I love listening to you! I’m 70 ......And I can’t even draw a Stick Man. Lol
Patty Provost gdsuse
I dont believe that you are 70...
Are you serious ? Your 70 ?
70 and knows what "lol" means? :D
@@finuarts my aunt is 70 and knows what lol means haha
I have been in a creative block for almost 1 year, I almost quit drawing. ut your video has helped me find ways to keep me inspired and keep drawing, thank you.
One of the best people I've ever seen ! Your beautiful soul is literally reflecting on your baby face and your cute smiling eyes! Much of Luv from Saudi Arabia.
Thank you , thanks you it truly describes how I lose my creative self I have all these creative ideas and themes every month . But get side tracked with following other people ideas. Thank your tips really help me.
Really kind of you to think of us out here who feel stressed because our idea tree begins to shrivel inside of us in time-poor lives. 🌺 What I really liked was how you organised the ways in which we can de-stress and recharge. 👌🏼 Alexander Pope described true wit as ‘what oft was thought but ne’er so well express’d’ and that’s what your chat felt to me. 😊
Thanks so much. 💕
I feel creative when I spend some time alone, quiet and relaxed so that I can feel calm and fresh.
Listening to intelligent conversations without personally contributing also helps in absorbing ideas which are not really noted when we are an active participant rather than a focused observer.
These tips are right on! As a lifetime writer, creator, etc., I have used all of these to battle the BLOCK! But more importantly, you putting all out there explained ME to my husband!! Thanks!
Im not a typical "creative" person (im a programmer) but so many of these tips are useful, I tbh I sometimes work on some book bindings to make myself feel better if im having a bad day, it really does help, thanks for the great tips !
scott harwood it does! And you get a book out of it ☺️
Scott - there's a lot of creativity in the way programmers solve problems with their code - you may not be typical, but you can definitely be creative :)
Yes! Ever since i found lofi i have been able to study and work a whole lot better
No danger of me unsubscribing from Sealemon. Your channel is what got me interested in book binding, which turns out to be pretty much my favorite thing. Also on a completely different note, your hair looks great!
Walk into Michael’s and not buy anything? Ha ha ha ha ha. Thanks for the video.
Dori 😆😏
I love all your tip! It'll help me a lot because I'm living a Creative block this moment. I feel a bit lazy and without any motivation, so I'm sure all your ideas will lift up my mood and my motivation. Thanks a lot!
i hadn't watched any of your vidoes in a long time and i just needed to hear your inspiration so thank you, im gonna watch some more
theres just a glow about you dear, ... your smile comes from within
This video is so helpful. Personally whatever I do, I always need something playing in the back. Anything, like a slow hum of the fridge, the tv, music, dogs barking. Anything! Cause without it I would be like so confused as to what I was even doing in the first place :))
THIS IS AMAZING! I had some of this ideas running already, I'm a performer, but also I do digital, creative and administrative work for some small businesses (basically I am my own boss) so I'm always doing something, and your clip puts in order everything you need to be productive (and healthy) when you do creative freelance work 💙💚
I was actually taking notes. Thanks. This is great for myself and my students:)
Great overview of techniques for thawing creative freeze! I love music for inspiration. My husband is a classical guitarist, so I often work in my studio while he rehearses or composes in his. Lucky me!
I knit a lot and sometimes I need to take a break from it 😂I agree with finding the time of the day that works best for your creative activities. 💕When I feel down I try to push myself to get up and do HITT 💪🏻and come back to my work.😊
I overcome my creative block by giving myself some times to settle down and think things through if things gone pretty messy over the time I closed my project book and went outside or just stare at the window just to see a different view other than those clutters of projects. I drink plain or aromatic water such as berry tea to keep my mind calm and easy. Or I just take a bath ,the water really helped me to relax and just enjoy the day then the idea will come flowing down like the water from the shower 😊
19 minutes of Sea Lemon = *worth it*
This is great!!!! I have noticed that when I 'do chores'....it does get my brain going! Thank you! 😙💪💖👊
All of my crafts I do at night time because that is when I am comfortable with my surroundings. Less noise, less distractions. I also listen to like piano covers or the instrumental of my favorite songs when I work, so I don't get distracted with the singing and such but I still feel a "pick me up" because it's still my favorite songs 😂😂
I usually listen to podcasts or watch a movie/show that I have seen before that way I don't feel like I have to actively watch. Futurama is my usual go too since I have seen most of the episodes multiple times.
Same here, but I listen to new podcasts everytime :)
I'm a biologist, so not what a lot of people would consider a creative and artistic person, but I'm always drawing in my free time and I consider myself an artist, which is the most important part. As an extrovert, one of the best way I get creativity is by simply talking to people. I play a lot of board games with my friends and we also roleplay in a game setting (Dungeons and dragons, pathfinder). This saves my creative ass x) My game nights with my friends really help me out :)
I unfollow accounts on social media every couple months because they don’t “inspire” me anymore and it’s very helpful
I just discovered your channel and I'm hooked. You have some fantastic ideas and great projects I can't wait to try. Thanks so much for putting your creativity out there.
I really enjoyed your video. It gave me some great ideas. Thank you
I SO needed this! Thanks for being so awesome hunni! Peace and blessings to you 😘💖💖💖🌹
Hi Jennifer!! I really like this videos because I had a chance to sit back and realize my habits during my creating times. I like the part where you put emphasis on different sites where beginners like me always visit to get inspired. I really learned a lot. Thank you and God bless you.
Wonderful video, thank you for encouraging us in such a simple, yet brilliant way! Your work is amazing! Love bookbinding 😍
So glad u made this video,I've been stuck in this art/creative block for a while now and this really helped me💖💖Thank u so much ^-^
I enjoy podcasts. I turn on youtube vids I've seen already from the same person, less distraction but I still pick up details I missed when I watched the vids the 1st time!
I too do book binding, also origami and nature crafts. I made a new sketch book with a journal section out of an old poster I colored. Super enjoyable for my PTSD therapy :)
12CielPhantomhive14 I totally get we’re you’re coming from with PTSD therapy. Or as I call it Anxiety therapy. It helps me keep focused on one thing. I have been diagnosed with severe depression, PTSD, OCD and a bunch of other stuff. If I don’t use some creative things I end up getting an anxiety attack really bad. I wish you luck in your PTSD therapy.
I'm the most creative around 2am... but I'm too tired to do anything about it haha
Hello dear, thank you so much for this video, I'm sure it will help a lot! I have a notebook with me all the time so I never miss an idea 😇
Kisses from Brazil 💚💛💙
thankyou so much💕 i can relate to all the struggles, too relatable 😭✨
Absolute facts she is speaking!
Agree 100%, Jennifer! White walls don't help. Wendy and I, we noticed that we do need to see weird color combinations to come up with something unique for our projects. Great video!
So many helpful tips! I will definitely take some of these to heart, especially trying out the brain dump tip. I have so much stuff going on in my head, it does help a lot when I get all those ideas out.
You really help me boost my creativity with the options you present on your channel :) Thank you Ms. Jennifer
I have movies going in the background sometimes and that fills the air...I have it somewhat low in volume and I just have it for something to set my mind free of silence....Most times I don't get hooked on the movie but if I do I take a break and enjoy the rest of it... ha ha ha ha ha
Almost to 1 million!!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
This was really helpful 😊 thank you for the inspiration 😇
Those things also help for anxiety, at least for me :) great video!!!
Really really helpful, thanks sea lemon!
This was awesome! I'd love more videos like this about inspiration for artists!
Think I might get into book binding thanks.
Nice tips, and your subscriber almost 1M, good luck and i love every vids that you make it makes me feel so "creative". KEEP IT UP!!😃😃😍😍😏
I really love your videos! Keep doing what you are doing you are amazing!!👍🏻👍🏻
I really love this list, it’s not like every other list, it’s new! I love the idea of doing something repetitious, or an opposite environment. Brilliant! Thank you! Also, your shower looks space age. :)
This is such a fantastic video! Thank you for all the great tips!
I loved your tips--and your shirt. Can you share any info about it that might help me find it if it is still available?
Great advice!
These are really helpful, and I love that you have the list and timestamps in the description! I also used your code to start my own website, so I hope it benefits you
Lisa be all like thank you!
So fun😘I have my exams this week so this realy helps me 💫
I work best at night, but seeing as I'm a student. And have strict living policies, like my neighbors liking quietness, and my family sleeping. I sometimes can't stay up very long. My friend on the other hand loves the peacefulness after 12AM. Some days I like to stay up late to just do my thing. The next morning my mom will wonder why I'm still asleep and question me with that look hahahaha.
First time ever being this early and it's worth it because this video is amazing and 100% helpful!
Thank you for giving it a ❤️ I love your videos!
7:00 painfully learned tip: if you're going to let your mind run on autopilot while you sew, and *this is especially for sewing machines and beginners with small working space* , please, please, please, for the love of god, check if the fabric you're sewing is resting on the machine, and not, say, another piece of fabric.
Un-sewing dozens of centimeters of micmac *will* make you want to curl up and cry
Too many times has the hem of a dress found itself sewed to a sleeve, treat the poor soft fabric with care and love
Thank you for this video, so calming and inspiring♡♡♡
I love all of your diys and you 😘🤩😃
SO CLOSE TO 1 MILLION
Many thanks
That was really helpful!
Love your videos so much
God bless you!!! You are so sweet and kind and are my new friend xD !!!
This was rad! I do some of these but some I’ve never thought of! Yay!! I’m gong to have to do some of your doodle challenges for a little boost 😁
Thank for your good tips😊
Yesss Lo Fi hiphop is AMAZING for focusing and also for studying!
SO HELPFUL!! THANK YOU!!
Awesome video...thanks for boosting our morale. It ll be a great pleasure if you can make a video on graphics work.
Awesome video and tips, Jennifer. Thanks for sharing. :)
Holy cat, where has this been all my life?
I fluctuate on things. I have several hobbies. I really enjoy them. I’m most inspired with a walk through Hobby Lobby, or Michaels and a clean organized craft space. Definitely NOT unfollowing Sea Lemon
Great video and beautiful editing!
I love your T-shirt looking awesome! Love you
thank you for this video ❤❤
Thumbnail is 10/10
Love these videos!!
Supa early! Well, taking a shower helps. I know that sounds funny, but maybe it's just how the body calms itself. Any time you're comtemplative, it helps creatively.
Writing in a journal helps instead of staring at a computer. Yeah music is good esp if it's instrumental and not lyrical like you mentioned. (:
So alike to what I do when I have creative block!
Notificarion squad where are you... 😀😀
Ps. Awesome quality videooo !!!!
#notificationsquad YAAAAAYYYY!!! New video makes me happy!!!
Classical music. Especially Vivaldi. It’s great.
These tips are really helpful!
I’m most energized at 2 am, the one time I can’t work 😂
Thank you, your videos are always beautiful
Please provide a video on how to make a beautiful garden at home
I'm waiting for your upcoming videos
Is it instrumental music that you like the best? I sometimes like to listen to music that has word pictures in the lyrics -- like my favorite is Patti Page - she sang a lot of songs that create word pictures in my mind - like "How Much is That Doggie in the Window" or "Mockingbird Hill," etc. I'm a night owl too and early birds don't understand why I like to stay up until the wee hours of the morning, however, I do get in my sleep hours now that the kid is grown and can do for himself. Go for the gold!
Super stylin' by grove armada is one of my favs, sucha good playlist!!!
bella bubash 🙌
Lo fi Hip Hop is beautiful and I love your videos and it's really inspiring to watch and your channel reminds me of art attack. However is there any videos you have that I can get started to do what you do, any beginners video
Joking I actually really like your videos.
Yay!!! Jennifer's Back!!
I am currently reading The Artist Way and the author mentions the same thing you did she calls it "artist brain" mine is most active when on a long ride.
I love mind maps! It makes the thinking feel fluid and you can path out the connection to what seems random. Great video 😊
i like to put movies in that I have seen several times when I am creating...that way I have the company without feeling like I am going to miss something important.
I’m in a rut we’re I can’t think of any ideas for animations so when I end up drawing I just trace something else
Can you plz make a video on shadeing and etc work without pastels.
FIRST #notification squad love you jennifer😍
Amazing ideas
