Looking for a way to jazz up your walls without buying any new art pieces? We've got the perfect solution – a DIY collage wall!

Here at Free Period Press, we're obviously big fans of mindful, creative activities that help you slow down. In celebration of our newest product, the Collage Kit Magazine, we want to share just a few reasons why collaging is the perfect hobby to take up during the pandemic.

Way back in March, Elizabeth Gilbert posted about this mindfulness exercise on her Instagram. I’ve returned to it again and again to stay grounded when things feel overwhelming (so, all the time).

This era of social-distancing can be super isolating, making our inner circle of friends more important than ever. Create a visible reminder to reach out to the folks that matter most to you.

I love every product that we make, but I’m often surprised by which do well and which do just so-so. After learning and internalizing this idea of focusing on output, I have stopped waiting for the perfect product idea and have instead focused on getting them out into the world and letting others decide if they’re any good or not.  It’s been very freeing to take the pressure of “greatness” off of my shoulders and, instead, focusing on producing the best product I can.

Traditional productivity tells us to bulldoze through our day from the moment we wake up until we’re back in bed at night. But believe it or not — humans are not robots with endless amounts of energy. (Shocking, I know!) We all have a circadian rhythm, a daily cycle with natural ebbs and flows of energy throughout the day. Have you every noticed that you’re more productive during certain times of the day? That’s your circadian rhythm at work!
