Today sees the end of two challenges that I have been doing, the Art Every Day Month (AEDM) in my Mixed Media Art blog and Try Something New for 30 days here on this blog. With the AEDM the main thing was to do something creative every day and I have thoroughly enjoyed taking part.
Spending time with our creativity takes practice and discipline and over the course of time you see the value of spending getting to know yourself and how you work even if it is for only 5 minutes. I still plan to visit the other artists that took part over the month there is so much inspiring work out there and a big thanks goes out to Leah Piken Kolidas for hosting AEDM as well as other challenges.
Making time for 'me' and and achieving goals were the reasons why I wanted to start the challenge Try something new, I realised there are so many things we say we are 'going to do' but the time passes and before we know it the years have passed us by. It feels like yesterday that I committed myself to walking 20 minutes a day but it was 30 days ago, that's how fast time is flying....
...we have no guarantees about tomorrow, what are you going to do with your today?
I now know how easy it is to get myself up and out and enjoy walking, I have also found ways to be flexible and fit around my schedule and though we have come to the end of the month it is something I will keep up, alongside creating daily.
For December I have decided to do another challenge for 30 days, something that I've always said I would do but didn't find the time. I will be glad for others to join in. What have you always said you wanted to do? Make it a realistic challenge that you can stick to, break it down and set yourself up to look back at the end of December and see that the challenge is completed!
You will be able to leave your blog link details in the main section so that we can visit you and give you support and encouragement during the month. Would love to hear your thoughts on challenges that you have done!
