Friday in Focus

 

It took me ordering mini tacos from Jack in the Box and realizing the blueberries I set out for my morning shake never made it into my shake...to connect the dots that staying on Facebook for a week had been a mistake. Call it an accidental experiment. 

One bad habit slowly snowballs into others. The 8 weeks of workouts, good eating with plenty of salads every day, the focus and priority....it was easy to just not care. To not do the walks that day and the next day, to not cook, to not food prep. I had no focus, I lingered long on Facebook and wasted time. When off of it little bits of conversation lingered in my head like annoying sound bytes, agitation was there every day waiting for me. It's a mental thing. I had let one bad habit crawl back in... couldn't the others come back too?

Nope. I deactivated and pulled my focus back to where it needs to be. Back on me, my health, my productivity, my finances, my house, my work, my art, my friends and family, my cats, my goals. Not sure what it is about that social media platform that turns my brain and willpower to mush but it does and I don't like it.

I am so much happier when I just do pop ins and pop offs. So resolve is back. Focus is found again. Another workout today, another salad, another shake... with blueberries that were not forgotten. I'm almost done with my painting and another project awaits. Work at the part time is popping. It's a time of much needed balance, keep all things going sweetly and keep houseplants alive. We're about to close out August. My birthday is around the corner. I'm going to go into my new year with more good habits than ever. 

Happy Friday everyone, I'm off Facebook for a bit but I'm definitely "back" to the good stuff.

    Girl I was getting worried when I noticed you lingering on Facebook more than a couple days. I'm glad you noticed the effects and kicked that trash to the curb.

      Ugh...it's so bad for me! Yeah I'm luckily very in tune with myself and was like no, no, no this is very bad. It's Facebook, jump off! 😂

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
