Setting intentions means that you have to regularly check up on yourself.
What I planned for last week:
Work: Finish the tests and the report of a job from 2020.
Art and craft: 6 hours
What I did last week:
Work: I finished the tests as planned but struggled with writing the report. Friday was such a frustrating day, but I eventually made some progress by late afternoon. It was not the report's fault, I assure you. It happens sometimes, but I will get it done.
Art / craft: I ended up spending about 11 hours working on a drawing, and coffee dyeing a piece of fabric and a few pages of white printer paper.
I worked on the #inktober52 prompt due this week, although I will only post it later today or tomorrow.
I also worked in one of my art journals. As a practicing Stoic, I have an art journal specific to exploring some aspects of stoicism to help with both my study and my understanding. I only work in the stoicism art journal occasionally.
A few thoughts about the first week
As far as first weeks go, this one was not too bad. It never fails to surprise me that the first day back at work always feels like the break never happened. Of course it is just a story I tell myself, but by the end of the first week, things are usually back to the hectic schedule before the Christmas break.
Self-care is part of my #CreativeLife, but more about that in a future post.
Stay safe and healthy, and live creatively until Thursday!
