For a lot of us, it happens so gradually that we don’t notice until one day we look up and don’t recognize our own life.

Now I get that it can be hard in this crazy, high-stress world we live in to find time to do something relaxing. But did you know that just by spending three minutes a day doing something creative, you are not only fulfilling a missing piece of your soul, but you are also lowering your stress?

You heart rate slows. The world doesn’t feel like such a dumpster fire. And you feel like you have a moment to breathe.

I remember vividly coming home from a photography job one day sobbing because I was so burned out and frustrated and overwhelmed. The one thing that had once brought me joy was now sucking my life dry. So I made a switch. I put down my camera and took up the keyboard and starting typing out my first story.

It was awful, but it brought me so much joy. Something I had forgotten.

It is for moments like that my friends and I started The Wild Muse Society. We wanted to create retreats for women who needed a break. To connect with like-minded ladies, and take a few minutes for herself so she can come back refreshed to take care of her family.

We’d love to see you at one of our events.
