How to make friends with art?

• On waking, think of what you were thinking of just before you woke up.

• Choose a rhythm for the day. Pick a song or make a click in your mind that you can breathe to, move to, walk to, sing to and feel with.

• Set an intention for your day. Dream a little dream everyday.

• Say good morning/evening/night to any plant, creature, element that guides your attention.

• High five your intuition.

• Make stuff: deep breaths, breakfast, meaningful conversations, mindful texts, your bed, dance move, funny sounds with your nose, declarations, nonsense poetry, scribbles on a tissue, new words, new worlds, art, love.

• Embody the powerful creator that you are.

List of Vices

• Lack of Sunshine: To seek more under-sky time... to grow more gardens.

• Lazy for Meal Prep: To eat out less... to be okay when cook attempts go bad.

How to connect to source energy?

• Take a walk. Maybe it drizzles. Look at the under-tops of trees. Pick fallen flowers still intact. Take your shoes off on the grass. Drink from a coconut. High-five a tree trunk. Imagine a shape of your choice in a cloud above. Come to believe that it means something special.

• Sing. Bathroom or otherwise. Karaoke? Headphones on in speeding traffic so that no one can really understand you. Pick a song. Don't google the lyrics. Begin with a hum. Recall the melody. Throw in some emotion. The music makes itself.

• Look at colour. At paintings, film, a photography, look at art. Look into people's eyes. Look at your fingertips. Look for sweet sounding words. Look at for a smiling face. Look into a deep thought. Look for yourself.

• Make love. And art. Nothing more. Nothing less.

• Breathe. Be present. Be free.
