Balancing Creativity and Mental Well-Being as a Special Effects Technician

Working in special effects is incredibly rewarding, but the long hours and tight deadlines can take a toll. I’ve been curious how others in similar creative fields manage their mental well-being to stay sharp and inspired. Do you have any routines or habits that help you stay grounded? Maybe something as simple as taking short breaks to clear your head or finding ways to unwind after a demanding shoot. I’d love to hear what’s worked for you especially if it ties into creative work. Cheers!
