Time Practiced: Depends on what you consider practice? Does working on myself as an artist count? If so, about 1 hour. If not... well... I think we should count working on myself as an artist.
Despite my complete lack of focus, I have actually decided to focus on The Artist's Way exercises and program. After starting to read it, I've realized that perhaps my lack of ability to focus has to do with my being "blocked" as an artist. So, if doing this twelve-week program doesn't work to get my act in to gear and give me some artistic focus, then I don't know what will. Consequently, I'm giving it a whirl.
One of my assignments for this week was to list five imaginary lives that I would like to lead. Fun, right? Wasn't allowed to over think the exercise and wrote down the first ones that came to mind. Thought, for giggles, I would share them with you:
- Naturopathic Doctor
- Chef
- Movie Star
- Charity Gala Organizer/Event Planner
- Olympic Gymnast
This week I am suppose to attempt to do something related to one of those imaginary lives, so as to pretend that I am actually living that life. Somersaults anyone? I think I am going to attempt to do somersaults. Forget anything more complex, I couldn't even do a cartwheel growing up. But a somersault, I should be able to do that. Heck, maybe I'll put together a little floor routine of jumping and twisting. Now to pick out music....
Today's Recommendation: Be fabulous at someone else's life for a day. You might have fun.
