The first rule is… You ARE an Artist

RE: Fight Club:

The first rule of Fight Club is - You do not talk about Fight Club.

For us, it is time to BE an Artist.

This is a major shift for me. I am ready. My mind might not be.

RE: Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power Of Now” and similar books on meditation, I am referring to the act of NOT identifying myself with the voice in my head, or my “mind”.

I am me - The essence or the energy or the consciousness behind the thoughts, not the actual thoughts themselves.

So when my mind is questioning whether I am an Artist, a Consultant, a Professor, a Journalist, a lost little girl or a mature functional adult… this is my mind questioning. That’s OK.

I - myself - should not question. I should trust myself, and I think I do, more and more as time goes on.

This morning I received some bad news.

It doesn’t matter what it was, but it sucks.

What is even more interesting is that I saw it coming and I am used to receiving bad news.

I have become waterproof and already have my coping mechanisms in place to turn the page and move on.

I know that I do not create these negative moments, even if I have grown accustomed to rejection or negativity, because I am constantly giving out positive energy, whatever happens.

As much as I can, I try not to manifest the worst case scenario, but the best case scenario.

So, leading on from this morning, I have decided to go into survival mode, again, for the 85030394th time in my life, and I will BE the Artist now.

I am no longer trying to be, or attempting to be, I am.

I deserve to be an Artist, and I will make it work. I can also be the other things, one by one.

Hyper focus mode, applied to all. My soul is an Artist, therefore I am.

The mind will follow, once it realises that that the usual strategy of fear mongering and emotional blackmailing is no longer working.

That reptilian brain is coerced into evolution.

Here we go!

It’s blurry, but it’s also clear.

The visual plan for writing a book below was a great example.

To break it all down into bite-sized pieces.

With each small movement becoming part of the greater whole.

Defining what the final full version looks like is a great place the start.

Applying this to my 60 week plan.

I also thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Corita Collection, and am looking forward to discovering printing, impressions, and everything to come for our Print Show!
