I love your drawings! This is a cool challenge. Not consistent with any daily practice right now. But Iād like to incorporate one at some point. Can one love routines and also be terrible at dedicating to them? šš¼
I am not sure a sentence has resonated more with me than this one - āCan one love routines and also be terrible at dedicating to them?ā This is so so so so so so true! I love the idea of routines, and I want to be a person of routine - but I am absolutely a chaos monster who canāt do anything consistently or routinely. (And I suspect you have a daily practice, like ānoticingā or something. Your writing is so thoughtful - I feel like you probably have some habit of taking in the world every day.)
Thatās lovely to hear! I think I try to pay attention to certain things, observe moments, so I guess that is a practice, but not consistent. I did take a writing class where we kept a noticing notebook during the week and thatās one I want to try to make hasnāt but it hasnāt stuck. Maybe having different practices at different times can be its own practice?
I love the idea of having different practices at different times as its own practice. I have a somewhat short attention span (with a curiosity about a lot of things) so yeah - this makes a lot of sense. I used to be really hard on myself for not being able to have a consistent practice all the time. I felt like it was some sort of personal deficiency. But I've decided that following my heart to the stuff that interests me in the moment (instead of having some sort of consistent practice) doesn't make me deficient. I say - if the noticing notebook feels like an interesting exercise for you (and not something you should do) give it another try. Cheers!
Vanessa, these are magical. I love your drawings so much.
Awe, thanks! Thanks nice of you to say. And, I have an email incoming to you because we booked š«.

Your illustrations have so much personality. Love them!
