I think this picture says it all, don't you think? If you are stuck in your work process, what should you do? You should do something and see where it leads you.

Monday Mantra: Habits are Helpful

Sometimes, I feel it is helpful to start out each day with a routine. It is so easy to get distracted and let the day get away from you. I always start the day with breakfast and then I have a schedule of what I plan to do each day. Of course, unexpected things come up but generally my days are planned out. My 2 main things that I should do before I do anything else is come up with a blog post and write in my journal -which, lately, is not happening! These 2 goals need to be habits -things that I do without any hesitation.

Monday Mantra: Motivate

One of the main things that motivate me is having the love and support for what I want to achieve. My DH, my kids and some of my friends who are always there to encourage, support and motivate me. I also love to motivate anyone who wants to reach their goals too. What motivates you?

Monday Mantra: Push Yourself

I know we can all push ourselves much more than we normally can. One of my goals is to do just this. I want to see how far I can take my creative journey. In the words of Bruce Lee: “There are no limits. There are plateaus, and you must not stay there; you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you.”

Monday Mantra: Be Inspired

I love to read about people and events that inspire me -it doesn't have to be about creative artists either. It can be about philanthropy or finding a medical cure. Sometimes talking a nature walk is inspiring too. Look around you -take note of what you see, learn and feel and record it in your art journal. You never know where it will take you!

Every single time I get to a certain point in my paintings, especially my portrait work, I always feel like throwing in the towel!! And on many times, I have. But this time I slogged through and I am so glad I didn't give up! Yeah me : )

Monday Mantra: Be Still

Sometimes it's good to "be still." And breathe. In our busy world, we are rushing around and don't take the time to just be. Go on and try it. You might like it!
