The Artist's Way: Week Ten

[kygirl]

So who's still with us? Are you still journaling and going on Artist's Dates?

This week, we're looking at the bad habits and thought patterns that keep us from being our creative best. This week, we're supposed to do one lovely thing for ourself each day. My treat today was a Ghiradelli milk shake. Oh, my goodness, it was good. I promise tomorrow's treat will be less fattening.

I'm still here in spirit but had gotten badly sidetracked with crabbiness and health issues, Thanksgiving, and visitors. TG I am feeling better. I always get through my chapters and journal a bit about it at least a couple times a week. I will try to do some catch up. I am photographing and doing some photography for a company for the holidays so part of my week has been able to be spent creatively - sort of.

For artist date - Last week my husband and I got a day to go to see friends in the city and spend the night and eat good food while my inlaws were watching out kids. We went to a couple art musuems and tourist places as well and enjoyed their beauty.

I feel my villians are perfectionism and still putting my art last.

I try to save myself some time to write scrap or shoot after everything else is done and it does not happen like that. I need to spend some more money on it as well and putting myself last will not let me do that. A few weeks ago I would make myself put it on the must do list so I better get back to that mentality.

Like you, I've let the holidays get me off track this past week or so, but I find that scheduling my AW activities really does make a difference. When I fill out my calendar at the beginning of the week, I put my journaling on my to do list for each day and schedule my Artist's Date for each Thursday. It doesn't always happen, but just having it in writing reminds me that this is a priority.

My villains are perfectionism and over-scheduling. They have been my villains since I was six years old, and I'm not sure I'll ever conquer them. :-)
