21-Days

by stargardener

We have all heard it takes 21-days to form new habits. So-o, let’s celebrate the middle of summer and determine to adopt a new habit by July 31st! ;-)

I know some of you committed to do work on your artistic goals this summer. How is that going? {Remember: Baby steps count!  }

Worry never accomplishes anything. When you have a problem, it is best to concentrate on the solution to that problem, not the problem itself. ~Thomas D. Willhite

Dump any guilt or coulda, woulda, shoulda’s. {Immediately! ;-) } Forget all the times before and give yourself permission to plan the next 5-minutes. If you are feeling motivated, plan the next 15-minutes or the next few hours.

Change occurs the moment we decide do move in a different direction. It continues for as long as we maintain momentum — and there is “A time for everything“! Including wandering, making art, naps, doodling, doddling — and screaming — when we are sure what to do.

No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Unknown

Are you stretching yourself? Give yourself room to move … Perhaps you simply need to “Begin with The End in Mind” or tackle a few 10-minute organization projects. ;-)

If you have some time, consider the excellent reflective points of “6 Proven Ways To Make New Habits Stick” and journal or collage your thoughts.

Great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance. ~Samuel Johnson
