Good tips, Paolo. I need to work on my own routine but when my sleep became disrupted by radiation treatment, I started a routine to make being up in the middle of the night pleasurable. I get my coffee and start digging into a basket of books I keep by my chair. I have a gratitude journal, a book on ancient interpretations of Hebrew, a memoir, and my son and I are doing a private bookclub of reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Then I do my Pilates (floor mat) and I appreciate you mentioning who you let guide you. I then turn on the heat in my art studio, come back inside and make beds, shower and dress, before heading back over there. I think you are so right about what these routines of ours do to our enjoyment of life and our forward progress.
Thank you Linda! Paolo generously crossposted my article ❤️ Your routine sounds so clarifying and enjoyable!! What kind of art do you create in your studio? XXX
I'm kind of all over the place. I do very detailed watercolor wildlife paintings (bears, wolves, foxes, etc.) Right now I am learning oil painting, and I also went through a couple of years of lessons in how to make fabric designs using Photoshop or Illustrator. I have a Spoonflower shop of my designs so far. Thank you for asking, Bari!
Wow! Your watercolor paintings sound beautiful & I so appreciate how you're always in the process of learning something new too. Going to take a look at your shop!!
I LOVE these posts/series, Bari
I'm soooo glad Anna, thank you for reading!!!
