Can a daily habit change your life!? Our answer is.... HECK YA it can! Be inspired by finding YOUR productive routine! Actively search for opportunities for inspiration: listen to music, make playlists, find a podcast of interest to you, read books—or listen to books if you are like my husband. My stubborn husband (who argues that I am the more stubborn one—to be fair, I am), who totes around the same two books that sit on his night shelf, and has been guilty of hauling those same books on every vacation he has been on for the last ten years, because surely he will learn to love reading magically, out of nowhere, on this upcoming vacation, only to haul the same two books home, taking up that precious space in his carryon. You need to find something YOU will STICK TO, and you need to find a routine that will work for you. Read or listen to books if that’s what you’re into; if not, find the thing that gets your heart pumping. It can motivate you on the most tired and frustrating days and take you out of any funk. The funny thing is that people think that magic pops up out of nowhere, and that artists are filled with it, and magically they create masterpieces with all of their magic sparks. Kind of . . . but not really! All day I open my eyes to the beauty of the world all around me. I pause and hold space for it to fill me up. It is a routine of mental work and dedication to my passion. My creativity is triggered like clockwork almost every night I hit the studio, pretty much no matter what, same time, and everything that has been filling me up can be channelled. Why does it work out for me, you ask? Because for years I have been consistently doing this same routine: kids to bed, make a tea, bring it down to my studio, headphones, music, work, create, feed my soul, and—most of the time—MAGIC! The funny thing about this is if I am out doing something at night other than being in my studio, around 8 p.m. I start hearing and humming my favourite songs. It is so amazing that because I have habitually started this routine for my practice now my body and mind expects it, longs to create, yearns for magic to flow out of my veins and onto the canvas or into the written word. I can guarantee that if you introduce a regular and positive routine into your life your body and mind will come to expect and appreciate it. Visualize or write something you’d love to incorporate into your every day and help your creative routine and make it a habit.
