Replacements

Meditation and Joy

Happy Friday! I'm excited for the weekend. Going back to work let's me appreciate days like Saturday and Sunday again instead of everything feeling like one big long same day. It's nice getting projects completed and turned in and being a productive member of society.
I work for a small business with fewer than ten employees and have my own little work area. But I've had to adjust my schedule a bit to add in necessary things like morning stretching...
Morning stretching is mandatory if I want to stay functional and mobile. My back injury gets super mad if I neglect this. So where my old habit was not stretching and hanging out on Facebook all morning I've now implemented morning stretches and my body thanks me.
Taking care of your body leads you to think about better eating. I've been making a conscious effort to eat fresh, lighter and healthier and do mindful cooking and food prep. My shrimp cocktail last night was divine. Yum🤤


Since I'm back to work my personal painting time has shifted- but it also makes me more conscious not to waste that time on my days off from the jobby. I'm looking forward to finishing up personal projects and getting some new ideas started. All in all PROJECT NO FACEBOOK has me kicking lots of bad habits to the curb and focusing on replacing them with better ones . Here's what I kicked and what I gained because of it:
*Facebook➡️ *TV Binging in Evening➡️ 
(Kicked)
 Healthy Eating, Stretching, Walks, Meditation, Art Productivity, Home Redecorating Projects, Pet Playtime, Nature time...
And my mind isn't cluttered with- he said she said, wow that person is crazy, that is horrible news jeez, why would anyone post that....all day long. Facebook is really screwing with people's brains and personalities and devolving their behaviour. There is barely civility and conversation, it's either repeating the same thing over to the echo chamber of yes men they've assembled or fighting and name calling. 
No I don't miss ALL THAT. 
My brain has free space again to ingest pertinent information and think of future art.
Do you have bad habits that need replacing? It can start with one and snowball into something wonderful.
Enjoy your weekend friends 🖖

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...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
