With more freedom from the pandemic just around the corner, it’s a great time to make a fresh start.
Is there a dream or goal you put aside this past year that you want to revive?
Perhaps you want to dedicate more time to building your business, connecting in person again with friends, or increasing your enjoyment of the simple pleasures of each day.
Sometimes creating something new flows easily, and other times we may need to reach for things that inspire us to move forward.
Take a moment and look at this painting, then close your eyes and just breathe. As you open your eyes, notice which area or areas pull you in, and how they make you feel. Is it the lush bright greens, the soft billowy shades of rose colors, or perhaps the subtle splashes of yellow and strokes of white? Maybe you’re drawn in by the fluid lines and stance of the figure.
For me this piece re-awakens feelings of exhilaration, openness and aliveness. I feel a renewed thrill and motivation I will bring to my current work in the studio.
Whatever you decide, imagine you’ve already begun. And before you take the next small right step, stop and luxuriate in something of beauty that will keep you inspired—energizing art, moving music, stimulating writing, or the splendor of the outdoors.
And remember, it’s always a good time to make a fresh start.
