Artists Reclaim Their Power This Week:

The past few days have been a whirlwind—both physically and energetically. Gold Coast and Brisbane have felt the weight of shifting energy, demanding our attention in different directions. But now, as we settle into safety, there is an opportunity to breathe deeply, recalibrate, and reclaim our power.

For artists, creatives, and visionaries, this is an essential moment of post-cyclone clarity—a chance to return to our craft with renewed purpose. The chaos has passed, and what remains is a deep sense of gratitude for our everyday blessings, for the safety we often take for granted, and for the people we get to love.

With gratitude as our foundation, we ask ourselves:

How can we use this clarity to serve our community?

How will we infuse this renewed energy into our art, our message, and our work?

This week is about more than just getting back on track—it’s about realignment. It’s about stepping back into our creative power, fueled by a fresh perspective.

Here are four simple ways to restore your energy and reclaim your creative momentum this week:

1. Prioritise Deep, Restorative Sleep

Creativity thrives when the mind is rested. Take intentional steps to improve your sleep routine:

• Clear your space and make it a sanctuary for rest.

• Indulge in self-care rituals that help you wind down.

• Step away from screens before bed—replace them with a book, meditation, or journaling.

• Let your dreams guide you—some of the best creative breakthroughs happen in the quiet moments before sleep.

2. Focus on What You Want, Not What You Don’t Want

The mind is a powerful artist’s tool. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong or what could go wrong, shift your focus to the vision you are creating.

• How does success feel?

• What does creative fulfilment look like for you?

• Envision yourself in the flow of your best work—what does that moment feel like?

When we focus on what we want, we naturally begin to align our actions with it.

3. Journal & Brain Dump to Clear Mental Clutter

A cluttered mind blocks creativity. Instead of letting your thoughts spiral, get them out of your head and onto paper.

Try this four-step brain dump method:

1. Write it ALL down—responsibilities, worries, tasks, fears, plans—everything. Let it be messy.

2. Cross out unnecessary doubts—release the fears that are holding you back.

3. Put a logical solution next to every single doubt—turn uncertainty into clarity by giving each doubt a concrete answer or action step.

4. Prioritise your brain dump—

Arrange your thoughts in order of importance to you.

Now, you have a clear, actionable pathway to walk.

4. Get Clear on Your Desire & Set a Date to Honour It

What is the next big move for you as an artist? What are you working toward?

• Define your vision and write it down.

• Set a date to take action, whether it’s launching a project, sharing your work, or committing to a creative practice.

• Treat your vision as non-negotiable.

When you honor your creative desires with intention, you take back your power.

This week is about reclaiming your energy and creative fire. The storm has passed, and in its wake, we are left with clarity, gratitude, and a fresh perspective.

So ask yourself:

How will I use this newfound energy?

How will I serve my community through my art?

The answer lies in aligned action.

Let’s create with purpose.

Let’s reclaim our power.

How will you restore your creative energy this week?
