Another good post. Thank you. I have a couple things that help me. One is what Wendy Mac calls Morning Drawings. They are similar to Morning Pages. Do them in the morning, early. Wendy suggests to set a timer for ten minutes, draw, and stop when the timer goes off. Another things that helps a lot is Susan O'Malley's "Art Before Dishes." …
Another good post. Thank you. I have a couple things that help me. One is what Wendy Mac calls Morning Drawings. They are similar to Morning Pages. Do them in the morning, early. Wendy suggests to set a timer for ten minutes, draw, and stop when the timer goes off. Another things that helps a lot is Susan O'Malley's "Art Before Dishes." I live alone, so I can get away with that. I look into the kitchen (visible from the living room), Oh, it's time to make some art.
In reference to the holidays, last year I came across a post by Rebecca Cooper. One of her suggestions was to make a list of one to three words you want to keep in the front of your mind, words that embody the feelings you'd like to create for yourself during the holidays. Let these words guide your actions and decisions. Last year the words I chose were simplicity, economy, intimacy. They worked well then. Am using them again this year. She also said the one word formula to a simple, joy-filled holiday is "no."
