Art Studio Time = Happy Time
What do I do in my art studio, well, more than art. There are a few ritualistic things I do every time I enter. Here are a few of them:
Add water to my teapot, prepare my cup with green tea, and switch my teapot to its on position.
Sit at my art table, connect my iPhone to my Bose speaker, light some incense.
Move to the Calm app on my phone and meditate for 10-20 minutes.
Steep my tea.
Begin and continue working on my WIPs as I drink my tea, listening to music or a podcast.
I try not to respond to emails, texts, or messages unless they are from my husband, sisters, mom, or children. What I love about my time in my art studio is that it is time I spend that is all about me: my music, my art, my smells, my podcasts, and my creative juices flowing all around me. It’s heaven!
I hope you have a place where you can create “you time”. Whether it’s a studio, a spot on the couch, or the corner of a room - having a space for quiet reflection and a spot away front the rest of the world is a wonderful thing!
Thanks for reading! Happy April 20th
