9 simple ways to be more creative and feel good

when i don’t know what to say or write,
i make lists.
here is your homework assignment:
1.) if you usually wear your hair up, wear it down. and vice-versa. this throws people off and attracts special attention. and we all want special attention don’t we?
2.) carry crayons and coloring books in your bag or purse. next time you see a bored child on a subway/train/restaurant/coffee shop give it to them. (my friend allison does this)
3.) if you are feeling triggered by someone or something today, try and find one good thing about them. you don’t have to like them or change your mind, just notice something positive.
4.) make a note that says “its going to be ok” and put it on a strangers car.
5.) go outside. find something beautiful in your backyard, and take a picture of it. if you are at work, take a quick break if you can and do the same. see, beauty is right outside your door.
6.) find something soft to touch.
7.) commission a child to write you a poem.
8.) make a nature arrangement out of sticks, leaves, flowers, etc. don’t think about it too much. now take a photo and show me.
9.) decide to let go of one thing today. just one.

keep this up! i am off to a couple art open houses but i’m already doing a version of #1 — wearing a cardigan over a slip layered over a tank top, my capris with some argyle socks and my clogs — always wanted to try that look and it actually looks good so i’m wearing it! happy saturday beloved mermaid…
