Stepping Out of Self Doubt and Start Living Productively Today


Dropping old unproductive thinking and start living a more powerful, positive life. How can you do that, your ask. By first realizing that change start NOW! Change is an action that occurs first when we realize change is needed and then, when we act on it. Have a minute jot down some unproductive habits that you realize you may have that need work. Then leave space to write down what you think you can you do differently.

Example: Procrastination, putting off what you can do today, for tomorrow. Stop it and face it. Doing what you can do today, why aren't you? Do you make excuses? Ask yourself why is it I don't put what is good for me first and you will see that this resonates in many area of unproductive habits. But you must be very honest with yourself.

We all have baggage, and now is the time to address it and then to to leave it where it belongs, behind us. This is no small task but in baby steps become walking and then leaping into better habits in our life. There are many methods on increasing ones' productivity, you can find the one that is best for you. Whether it be a working program, literature on self improvement and/or a self-developed system.

One I find helpful is an easy to start method is just adding a few minutes a day devoted to writing down a usually forgone task and setting a time dedicated to just working on that task alone. Whether it be developing technique in painting, reading up on reference to an desired area; that we are not strong in, and learning more about it, or practicing an activity or lesson for a designated task. Doing any of the mention can strengthen your knowledge and increase a greater level of productivity. It is the investment of your time, which for most part, will bring about a positive result.

You can improve your productivity but it has to begin with you and the decision to improve what is important in your life and only you can do that.

Start focusing on the now and moving forward in a life of presence, passion, and purpose.

Art is Boundless - Revisited





Art has the ability to lift spirits and move individuals to great heights. Art has the power to inspire one to create change, overcome challenges, express ideals, and to grow. Art has always had a place in history all over the world, yet today it seems less recognized as such.



Many have been moved to create great artistic monuments to country, cause, belief, and love to name a few. Art is present in many forms and mediums each, very expressive, in its own way. The magic is in the discovery that something artistic speak to your being, your heart, your soul, that is what is meant to do as well as express the artists vision.



The wonderful thing about art is that it is accessible to all no matter what your income or your so called status in life. Buildings, monuments, fashion, automobiles are all fueled by creative design, all originated from an idea in someones' mind and made real by some hands. Artistic creation is the bases in literature, nature, healing, education, etc., all have a creative origin. Ideas are creativity based thought that can become actions to make them real depending on how we act on them. We have the ability create and appreciate artistic possibilities. We are all capable of thought, perception, the ability to be moved, and grow in and through art.



Art plays a very important part in each of our live, conscious and unconscious. Every part of our lives is deeply infused with creations which' in turn' shapes our world view. As children it is important that we share creativity based encouragement and learning. Art helps children to thrive and grow, opening them up to creative thinking and thought process. And let's not forget imagination, the gateway to dreams and dreams lead to goals. Imagination and art have a partnership that is all inspiring. ART has a place in ones' life whether or not admitted.



Take the time to reconnect with art and share it with your family and friends. Available to you in products, architecture, functional designs, nature, art galleries, childrens' art, an obvious artistic creations' paintings, clothing, etc. Visit a local exhibit, go to a art design school and see what they are showcasing this month, visit a public arboretum, and/or library. Start taking the time to look at architecture old and modern. You will see are the more you look for it and encourage those around you to create, draw, learn to knit, paint, sidewalk chalk art, take a beading class, whatever you may find fun to do.




Art can inspire and the majority of it is free. Share the gift of art.


KNOW THAT YOU ARE INSPIRED BY ART EVERYDAY AND IT DOES NOT COST A THING.

Yes U Can



Craft is Crafty
"YES U CAN"





We all have gift some undiscovered, non the less we have gifts. The key is to recognize gifts when they present themselves. Sometimes not so obvious yet very present. HAVE YOU EVER TRIED SOMETHING A REALIZED HEY I like this, this is fun??? And something new becomes new some new to do more and more often.
Do ever think that you are not good at something it is just you have not excercised its potential in your life enough to become good at it. You have to ability to try new things and in saying that you have the ability to master new things as well. It is a active choice. And the learning is in the doing. Loving a hobby, craft, art, etc. is in the learning, when it moves you. So don't ever say you "cannot" because I know that you can, the CAN is in the DOING. FIRST YOU MUST TRY.
