I’m going to be honest with you—behind the vibrant earrings and the cheeky Irish kitsch, there is a brain that occasionally likes to set itself on fire with nonsensical anxiety. I’m talking about a mind constantly flooded with irrational worries that have absolutely nothing to do with whether I’ve remembered to buy milk or finish a resin batch.
I know I’m not alone in this. We all have that buzzy, overwhelmed feeling sometimes, so I wanted to share what is actually helping me navigate the chaos without a total studio meltdown.
The Tool for the Noise
I’ve started using the Aura app. Just to be clear, I am not getting paid to recommend this; I’m just a fan who found a bit of a lifesaver. It has been the primary tool I’ve used to manage that constant flood of worry, and it’s finally allowing me to look after the maker as much as I look after the making.
The Abundance Experiment
While I was using the app to quiet the "eejit" thoughts, I stumbled across something a bit different: a meditation to cultivate abundance in your life. It’s by Prema Gaia and is called Abundance Meditation (Powerful).
It’s 20 minutes long and suggests that you listen to it daily for three weeks to see real results. Now, I’m a woman who works with pliers and bits of metal—I’m naturally a bit of a sceptic. But I committed to the 21 days.
The Results
I hit my fourth week of daily listening, and something mental happened: my sales suddenly sky-rocketed. I don’t know if it’s the universe or just the fact that I’m finally making business decisions with a clear, calm head instead of an anxious one, but the numbers don’t lie. Whether you’re a fellow creative or just someone with a buzzy brain, I highly recommend finding your own twenty minutes of quiet.
Because I’m finding this so helpful for my own head and the business, I wanted to share a bit of a "guest pass" with you. Aura allows all of its subscribers to gift a free 30-day trial, so I’m popping my link here for you to use. If you fancy giving the 21-day abundance experiment a go yourself, you can click here to grab your free trial. Again, I'm not being paid to say any of this—I just want you to feel as good (and as busy!) as I do right now.
I’m off to go do my daily session before the studio apocalypse claims me for the afternoon.
Stay calm, stay sparkly ✨
