a week of cheerful

I've been having a poo-stinky time over the past month or 2. I wrote a big venting post about it all, but didn't post it. WHY? Because I'm sick of feeling shitty, and the last thing I need is a reminder. I just want to feel happy.


So I hereby declare the rest of this week "CHEERFUL WEEK!".

For the rest of the week I'm challenging myself to post something everyday that makes me feel happy, cheerful or inspired.


MONDAY: Over the weekend I watched Elizabeth Gilbert's TED talk. Have you seen these? I highly recommend at the end of the day when you're winding down, and there's nothing but crap on TV, to watch one of these 20 min talks.

In her speech, Elizabeth Gilbert spoke about the nature of creativity, how we can become tortured by it, and ways people have learned to think of it differently, freeing themselves of the pressures associated with it.

It was so inspiring I LOVED IT!

Check it out : Elizabeth Gilbert, TED talk.


TUESDAY:
Today I found just the thing!

The prefect medicine by none other than the amazing Kerri Smith.

She has an Artists Survival Kit free to download. The intro paragraph had me crying out "YES", and the exercises had me intrigued and chuckling.




So if you're up for it, grab the button and join with me in this week of cheerful. :)
