The LoFi Inn Henry Valdez

In this episode of The LoFi Inn, we explore the transformative power of being in the now and cultivating satisfaction amidst the ebb and flow of time.

As we get older, our viewpoint of time changes. Those once-promising creative endeavors, initially brimming with potential, can unexpectedly stall, leaving us feeling adrift. The gap between our initial inspiration and the present moment may foster a scarcity mindset. However, there's an alternative path for creatives—one that embraces presence and contentment as the guiding lights toward a fulfilling creative journey.

Music from Artlist:

This episode of the LoFi Inn delves into the personal experiences of burnout, anxiety, and creative struggle. As a creative person, it’s important to maintain continuous creation and movement. You may develop feelings of inadequacy in your art, which may be attributed to social media comparisons and self-doubt. The episode underscores the damaging impact of the inner critical voice that erodes creativity. Henry shares his personal remedy: stream-of-consciousness poetry as a means to reconnect with their creative flame. He also encourages listeners to engage in forms of creative expression that come naturally, uninhibited by expectations or external judgment.

⁠Eye to Eye: Alan Arkin Reflects On His Career:  

In this episode of the LoFi Inn, we explore the power of habit loops and how they influence our creative pursuits. Just like our everyday life habits, our creative habits can keep us stuck in predictable patterns. We discuss the three components of a habit loop: cue, routine, and reward. We also introduce two types of creative habits: Creative Logic Habits and Creative Expression Habits. We delve into the importance of breaking repetitive patterns in order to unlock greater creativity and inspiration. Check in to the LoFi Inn to uncover the role of habit loops in our creative journeys and learn how to reshape them for personal growth and artistic development.
