My new habits

Bryce bought me my 365 book which will take a year to fill with sketches. He also bought me a 21 days to forge a new habit... a little checklist for the new goals you want to achieve. This is kind of like New Year, only better... because Christmas is still to come! Creativity has to be accompanied by supportive habits. All positive ones. Like being healthy enough to be able to draw in my book every day (1. Go to the gym 5 weekdays), (2. Foster the water habit), (3. Drink green tea). I'm going to try to keep off caffeine. I don't think it has ever enhanced my creativity... probably it provided a venue to sketch, but with my heart rate increased because of the caffeine, it probably made me anxious about my art. Some other new habits are forging the "take time out for yourself" principle - (4. Half an hour of sun/day) and (5. Time out for morning and afternoon tea). And then a few good old health habits including (6. Go to bed by 9.30pm). Gemma was an inspiration because she goes to gym everymorning before she goes to work - she never misses. See if I can be as disciplined. And then a few art disciplines... (7. Do a drawing a day) and (8. Two hours of art on Sat and Sun) and finally (9. Read for an hour a day).
