The Artist Way. Week One Check-In.
This weeks phrase to sum up what I learned. Perseverance creates confidence. 🏋
Week one has been great. I feel such a opening within myself, a subtle crack in the walls of my psych. I have been resistant to the morning pages, powered through the tasks in two days of really deep work. I was a bit of a mess those two days but today, at the end of week one I feel great. I am really starting to see my hold backs from creating. I am just sitting with them over a cup of coffee or a brisk morning walk. We are getting to know each other. I am feeling good about our friendship. 👥
A routine is forming, wake up, do the morning pages, feed the birds and say good morning to them, come in and do yoga. I really feel like I can center myself and create after making so much space and time for myself first thing in the morning. And with an hour and a half of quiet observation of self, I am starting to understand some reactions that have stayed hidden.
So far I have great gratitude for the process.
The Artist Date.
I took a walk in one of my favorite parks. It is cold and damp here in the woods and I am bundled and warm. I brought a camera with me, the sun was setting. Here are a few of the pictures I took during my Artists date. 📷
TheArtist's Way is one of my favorite books of all time! What a great idea to document it on the blockchain and share your growth in such a vulnerable way. I did this journey and the book Simple Abundance at the same time nearly 20 years ago....oh my, is that possible? Life changing and so well worth the investment.
I'm glad that you said you were excited about getting back into photography. I sent you a challenge. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.
Much love to you dear Ren.

Way to go! Don’t understand the negative responses of your photography. It is really very good. Wish I had learned the old way of using a dark room. Very inspiring post. So appreciated. I am happy that you are finding a routine that works for to make your day pleasant and productive.
