Complete "The Artist's Way"

to the library so this one will have to go on hold for a while

I did my morning pages everyday although two days weren’t done as soon as I got out of bed.

My artist date I actually took over a few days, allowing myself time to sketch and paint with watercolours.

I only did some of the other tasks, I had done alot of them at other times when I had attempted to work my way through the book previously.

Other Issues that came up .. I realised I am very critical of myself & my actions, I am not very forgiving or gentle with myself when I make mistakes. I have very high expectations of myself & I beat myself up when I don’t meet them & this permeates all areas of my life. I realised I nned to allow myself to be more accepting and nurturing toward myself.

I went for a walk just me and my artist not sure that it was twenty minutes though, perhaps I will try again tomorrow.

I have read the first chapter and done my morning pages and affirmations. I expected there to be more resistance to getting up and doing the morning pages as everytime I have tried to do this in the past there has been big resistance but I found it easy today. Ihope that is a good sign.

I went to the library and picked up the book today and have read the introduction and getting started chapters. I will begin my Morning pages tomorrow.

Yay the library has the book so I can go and borrow it tomorrow!! Then I can get started

This has just become a bit harder for me to achieve as I asked my friend that I thought I had lent my book to if I could get it back and she didn’t remember getting it. I will have to check and see if the library has it I guess!
