So far, I have let my pen hit the paper to create this fox. ** Replicating him in three different colors (gold, silver, then green) as a form of meditation and with hopes that this is the theme for 2022.
Self-care above all else.
Life is busy. There isn't a day that my journal doesn't have an exceptional to-do list alongside my brain dump. Now, I even have a separate planner specifically for the wedding where I have created a series of deadlines and tasks as we approach our big day.
But this year, I plan to take control over my routine to include the preservation of self above all things. Since the beginning of covid, I believe we all have been slammed against an invisible wall over and over again. Not seeing our family or friends as we should. Not getting into the world to explore as we should. Hyper focusing on projects around the home to distract ourselves from the current world we are in... (or is that just me...?).
This year, I look to accomplish my personal goals above my professional ones. I want to establish a routine that starts with healthy food, moving my body, and I want to focus on the parts of life that provide me with pure joy...
Art, of course.
But also - reading, writing, nurturing my plants.
As we continue to discover our new normal in this world, I hope you can join me in finding focus in the positive and falling in love with life again. Let's keep it simple and support each other in kindness. Let's take it slow and build on everything we have accomplished during such a traumatic time.
Let's take it one day at a time.
xxx, Kristin
