@nadiatidona1 I think when we're older (and wiser) we can transform everything into something constructive but as little kids we don't always have that ability.

Someone can say one thing in the wrong tone and it haunts your creativity for ten years.

@jordanurbs @AlexHormozi What do you mean with "exactly how our brain works"?

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

I wonder if we shy away from the unknown because our brain doesn’t like it. So it keeps creating fictional stories that temporarily guide us in a direction.

People who don't live in our lives, shouldn't live in our heads.

Making people uncomfortable is actually much closer to truth than making them comfortable.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

Discomfort comes from dealing with things that need to change. Comfort is lying that things are okay when they’re not.

I built a career out of hiding. I created spaces for others to access their creativity...because I was scared to access mine.

We need to normalize tools that help us process. We need to normalize play. That’s what I think we need to have as adults.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

If it’s not a completely aligned project...one that gives me freedom and keeps me alive...then it’s a distraction.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

We could quiet our brain and get off those tracks. Slow down. Just sit. See what’s calling us.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

The brain wants control.. the soul wants surrender.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

The way we create needs to change. The way we evaluate. The way we edit.

Less mind, more heart.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

We need art in our lives, not to be artists, not just to relax, but to process ourselves.

This World is a Coping Mechanism: Surrender, Mess & the Power of Art

We’d rather have the wrong answer than no answer..

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

Maybe the world we built isn’t a solution...it’s a coping mechanism.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

Curation is the art of subtraction. Noticing what doesn’t belong is half the work.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

You don’t need to find your voice. You need to stop editing the one you already have.

[Alia • Creative Strategist @sabzallive]

Where are we allowed to make a mess? How many of us are taught never to make one?

We're so conditioned to think that work should occur between 9-5, whether at home or in an office.

Sometimes your mornings are needed to live, find inspiration and get menial things out the way and reserve the evening for inspiration, clear thinking and quiet productivity.
