24. Artist's Date
From Julia Cameron's lips to your imagination, treat your inner artist to a weekly date. This can be a walk in the park, an hour of creative time, a trip to the movies, hardware store, or thrift store. Anything that treats that inner artist.
Other ideas for artist dates:
Other ideas for artist dates:
- go for a bike ride; include the steep hill you loved to fly down as a child
- go to the circus
- go to a large bookstore and use it as your own, personal, book museum; gather arm-loads of books and browse soaking up all the image.
- take a walk during your lunch break and really notice everything around you
- listen to your favorite music while sipping on a cup of hot cocoa or cappucino
- take a long soak in a hot bathtub
- browse a craft gallery -- the stores that sell what other crafters/artists make
- fly a kite
- make a snow creature
- take a walk while it is snowing and listen for the gentle sound of the flakes coming to rest, make a snow angel before you go inside for a rest by the fireplace or a mug of cocoa or soup
- color in a coloring book
- watch a Pooh video
- read aloud several children's books to yourself; have fun creating different voices for the different characters or adding expression to your reading
- watch the sun rise or set

21. Draw on your Shower walls!
Some of my best ideas come when I'm in the shower & more often than not I wish I had something with which to record the thoughts. Now, a mini tape recorder in the bath or shower is probably not the best idea, and paper tends to get soggy. Then it hit me, why not buy a set of soap-crayons & draw on the shower walls?
It washes off, and is so much fun!
