Today I worked on the arm and shoulder. I am aiming to have this figure done entirely by the end of tomorrow (I’m having a buddy over to do art with me so I should be fairly productive). If it takes me about a week to do each figure, then I should be done by the time of the submission deadline for the next group show at Splendorporium.
I ran 4 miles with my friend today. Tomorrow I will do strength training and Sunday I will do another 2 miles. Then I will have exercised every day of the week. That’s my goal.
I have been reading Dust by Hugh Howey and am now about 12 chapters into the book. It’s pretty good so far. I didn’t like the second book (Shift) as much as I liked the first in the series (Wool), but I have yet to decide my opinion on this third one. I have to finish it first.
Do you need a break? From what?
I need a break from panic attacks and anxiety. Granted, yesterday was a pretty good day, and I think getting aerobic exercise in the morning every morning is helping a lot. I’ve had more good days this week than bad days. Monday and Tuesday were okay, Wednesday was terrible, but things were good yesterday coming off of a bad day. I’m throwing everything I can at the problem, exercise, improved diet, meditation, self compassion… all the tools I know. Here’s to a good rest of the week!
