I wrote a poem today instead of painting. It’s quite an emotional piece. I’m feeling pretty drained after writing it which is why I haven’t painted today. Maybe I will do a bit of sketching before dinner time.
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?
I’m not sure. I don’t swear a whole lot, so I can’t say I use them regularly. I think “um” might be a trouble word for me, if you can call that a word. So I guess it would be “um” because I’m pretty sure I’d talk a lot more eloquently without it.
Here is yesterday’s diary of my habit change journey:
Day 3 of 60 (Sept 4) –
Morning Routine – Got right to it today from the moment I got up. Had a healthy breakfast then did my chores Afterwards I dived right into drawing and did that for an hour (core value #1 complete). When I finished with art, I went on a jog and did mindfulness while running so I don’t need to go on a mindful walk today. Going to try to do a bit of writing. I just haven’t felt like it but the longer I go without doing something, the harder it is to get back into it so if I can just write a stanza, I’ll be happy.
Mid-day Routine – This afternoon I had a healthy lunch and then decluttered the guest room and the living room cabinets. I wrote a poem.
Evening routine – Got a little harder to motivate myself in the evening but I had a healthy dinner and watched a movie. Then I meditated for 20 minutes, including a loving kindness meditation. After that I read for a bit. So all my core values achieved today.
