In reply to alan phillips.

Thank you for listening and/or reading, Alan. Was there 1 verb that resonated more than others?

Thank you sooo much for sharing these verbs. They are exactly what my soul needed to hear now. My verb for today is TRUST. Trust that everything is OK, trust that the timing is perfect, trust that this is what I am supposed to do…and that is to create with passion from the heart …????

Namaste

All great reminders…Alyson, you are a treasure and your consistency is a super example for me to ‘paint’ a minimal # of hours per week. My verb is ‘Start’…when I need a motivator to make art, I go to the studio as the last activity of the night and squeeze out a basic palette: white, an earth tone, red, blue and yellow…I choose an unfinished panel, place it on the easel and put a sticky note on the taboret. I then write what 1 thing I need to do first on the painting the next morning…somehow that process creates an urgent passion the next morning to ‘get in there’ and at least one thing/step to completion. It works every time for me. Getting ready to make art takes time and a bit of energy, so I prefer doing that at a low energy time at the end of my day. Actual painting or crafting works better in the early morning hours before the ‘world’ starts asking for my attention for non-art things. Thanks again, Alyson, for your ideas!

Brilliant post. I’m a big fan of your book! Action is the way to go!! Thanks for the advice AND the inspiration. An important verb for me is “remember”, as in “remember who you are.”

Oh how I needed this! Thank You So Much. I’m in the middle of a life milestone, new house, new studio with a new baby on the way. I’ve been struggling to find a balance but I will not give up. I make the time regardless, but we all need a boost once in awhile and this post was exactly that.
