A Date to Create!
Hello,
I’ve just come across something pretty amazing. It’s a “holiday” for creating! And it’s tomorrow August 8th! This is good news because now I have to create something tomorrow, haha! I try and work on something every day, but as you know, there are times where we don’t feel like we ever have enough energy or time to start a new project or start building that dream of ours.
This is a day to end that procrastination. A day to finally give yourself permission to start that garden, write that short story, or create that fitness blog you have been dreaming about.
GIVE YOURSELF PERMISSION and END THAT PROCRASTINATION!
Today is the day to set yourself up for success. Tell yourself that you are going to set some time aside and do something. This is YOUR day to start creating! I urge you to prepare your plan of action today so you have some inspiration stored up to execute tomorrow.
Brainstorming is a great exercise to get your mind flowing with ideas. There are so many ways to brainstorm, personally, I love to do mind maps. I pull out a large poster-sized paper, colored markers, and I write big! I find the process to be way more fun and it creates more engagement and creative thinking. If you don’t have any large paper handy, find another creative way to brainstorm. Create a mind map using Post-it notes! Just think of how big your map could be if you used one of your walls…that would be fun. I think I will have to try that, it sounds like another way to make the exercise more fun. Write down what you have scheduled tomorrow and make sure to block out some time for you to create. Schedule yourself in your planner (that “me time” we all talk about). Even if it’s just 30 minutes, it will spark some great things.
I for one will be posting my progress and pictures tomorrow on what I decided to create, so, stay tuned!
What are you waiting for?! Get those ideas rolling! I can’t wait to see what you are creating. Leave in the comments what you plan to execute tomorrow, or what you have accomplished recently.
If you haven’t heard yet, I have a Facebook group called “Life is Art, Start Creating!” if you would like to join me and others, you can post your creations or what you are working on in there. It is a growing community of artists and I know that we would love some more members.

Have an inspiring day!
