Bo’s Gem of Wisdom: 

You have to give yourself time.  It s not going to happen right away. You could do anything.  It could be creative.  Creative things are very interesting.  It s a whole other part of you that needs feeding, too.  Take it easy.  Try something.  If you don t like it, try something else.  If you have something you re really passionate about, do that. 

“Internally it s a process of being kind to yourself and allowing yourself to try anything you want and don t be judgmental, that s the biggest thing.  It doesn t have to be perfect.  Enjoy what you re doing.  Get feedback from the work or activity itself to make yourself more whole.
