Word of the Year 2018

Finish

 Is my 2018 Word of the Year

 

"Finish"

Finish, you say?

Yep that's the word.

You're thinking to yourself -

What kind of a word of the year is that?

Well, it's the word I NEED!

I don't need the word for paintings,

because I seldom don't finish and if I do finish and don't like it, I gesso over it and try again.

But, I need it in other areas of my artistic life.

I've been working on a project for at least 6 months,

and I keep getting side tracked.

I NEED to Finish!

I don't know why I haven't been able to finish it.

It's important to my business.

I want to finish it.

But FEAR keeps popping up in my mind.

What will happen if I finish and fail.

What will happen if I finish and I can't keep up with success?

Totally different fears, but they show up in my 

subconscious all the time.  

I am starting each day with a specific morning routine.

Scripture study and inspirational reading.

Exercise.

Shower.

Breakfast. 

Then two hours on this project.

Lunch.

Two hours of creative time.

I have found for me,

if I lay out my day in blocks like that,

I get things done.

I get things FINISHED!

So,

Now you know!

I'm a tad OCD and this is how I role!

I'll get back to you on my progress...

But let me know in the comments if you have a word of the year and what it is,

and if having that word changes how you approach things.

I appreciate you stopping by, commenting

 and sharing my blog.

Let's see if we can finish something together in 2018!
