Goal #2

Goal # 2 – Enhance my Creative Spirit

I know 100% that I am an artist. I can feel it in my blood. I have spirit, imagination and creativity. I just need to learn how to harness my creativity and most of all I have to be patient with my work. I know that one of the main problems that I have is I rush. I want to see the completed picture and I end up rushing. Most of the time my art doesn’t look like what I had imagined in my head. I am very critical of my own work. It’s all about technique and practice, taking it one step at a time.

Things that I can do to achieve this goal:

·         Focus on sketching and outlining. Once the outline is done, than it is much easier to fill in.

·         Learn some new techniques. I would really like to play with water colors and outlines.

·         Stay motivated. If I need to schedule myself some time to draw, then I have to do it. I just have to stick with it.

·         Pick a specific item to draw and capture it in my style. This will give me practice and a little direction.

This is the latest canvas i am working on. It is not completed yet but it is close.

Goal #1

Goal #1 - I want to lose weight.

This is a big one and for most females this is number one on everyone's list. I am 28 years old 5'6 and 170lbs. I have never been skinny except when i was about 5 years old. I have never developed good eating habits or have ever exercised reguarly. I know that as i get older this is going to be a bigger problem. I want to figure it out now and start making good choices for myself to be healthy.

Ways to accomplish my goal

• Start a food journal. I need to record everything i eat so that i can be consoious of my decisions
• Go on a diet. After realizing what i eat, i need to change my habits so that I can make healthy choices
• Go to Yoga on a regular basis. I sometimes go to Yoga class maybe once a month. This will not only strech my muscles but it will relax my mind. I will also try and get a partner to go with me so that i will have motivation, if no one goes though, I need to go and do it by myself.
• Exercise. This one is probably the hardest for me. The easiest thing to do is to join a gym. I do not have any money for that so i have to find some alternatives. Some options for my exercise are: running in the park, exercise videos or dvds, swimming, or an alternative sport. I need to exercise at least 30 min a day 5 days a week, get myself into a schedule.
• Once a week weigh myself and track my progress, if i start to see results it will definatly motivate myself to keep going.

 

This is me today August 20, 2013. I will never be the same a gain, i will be a healthier, happier me!

Transformation

I am heading in a different direction, I need an outlet to put my thoughts in order, to be the person that I want to become.

Do not get me wrong, I love myself and I do believe that i am beautiful, especially on the inside. I am a human being that is forever changing, to shed my old skin and begin anew. I know what I want in life and I know how to take it.

The big question is, what do i want, how do i want to live my life?
