After my last blog I decided I need to try harder with writing and art. Maybe things just wont come to me the way they have in the past. Maybe working harder for it will? I have a small sketchbook and old journal with which to write something or draw something everyday. The writing can not be about me-only characters outside of myself.
When I was psychotic I threw away all my art and writing I had been collecting my entire life. I remember vaguely a few fantasy pieces of writing I could pick up on. That might ease me into this again. Or should I start new? I don't know. Time will tell.
I feel like this is something essential I have to do for myself-but I doubt my psy would understand it. Most people wouldn't understand it thinking it's just me being lazy and focusing on 'hobbies.'
On a different note in a earlier blog I talked about my new eating plan which I'm happy to say I have stuck to! (there have been a few treats here and there) I really feel better after adding veg to half my diet.
congrats on the writing and art making, it is essential to me, too. and those veggies, way to go! i have only been eating white foods this week (weird, eh)... no green or orange veggies for me! will try and do better going forward....
ReplyDeleteI've been eating a baby spinach salad with cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper and a sprinkle of cheddar. Makes me feel great after. Big boost of energy.
