The Art & Poetry of Mary Coleman

There are many things wrong with modern society. Inequity, climate destruction, and overpopulation just to name a few. I’m not sure what not to fix about modern society. It’s very dysfunctional on a large scale and we are digging our own grave literally and figuratively. I don’t want to write too much about this subject because I do try to avoid politics on this blog, so I’ll just leave it at that.

Here’s what I would like to get done today:

Morning (5am – 10am)

1. Apply for jobs, go running, and walk the dog

Midday (10am – 1pm)

1. Do something creative, ideally work on quick self portraits and gestures. Do a figure drawing for 15 minutes. Get a stanza of writing in. Listen to my audio book while I draw.

Evening (5pm – 9pm)

1. Cook at home , go on Instagram, meditate for 20 minutes, and read poetry books

Other, non-time related, goals.

1. Eat an anti-inflammatory diet and follow my calorie goal.
2. Practice mindfulness throughout the day and try to be kind to myself when I am anxious. Allow myself to feel the feeling instead of fighting it and comfort myself.
3. Live by my 3 core values (creativity, taking care of my body and mind, and kindness)
