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.

  1. 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.

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 ...

  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 ...
