C4ward Blogathon March. Day 15

Reflections

• What have you learned about yourself?
• What connections have you made with other artists?
• Did you find a rhythm and style to express yourself about your art through blogging?
• Did you discover anything new about your relationship to your art?
• Do you have any better understanding of the role you play as an artist in your community?
• Is blogging a worthwhile activity?
• What do you need to keep you blogging regularly?
• What questions do you have?

This C4 blogathon has completely worn me out. I stay up too late trying to figure out what to write then I am disappointed in what I eventually do put on paper so for this one last blog I am not thinking or staying up late to find photos...I am using some information I copied from a posting I came across. I do not remember what it was or where I read it but some of you might recognize it. If so, just let me know and I will add the necessary credits.

This was a post about having a healthy body, a self-sufficient system and the input we need to have it. Here is what I copied and I believe every word of it...

The one thing this amazingly self-sufficient system needs from you is better input. A host of things constitute better input:

- Whatever makes you happier.

- Being more relaxed and accepting.

- Strong self-esteem, a sense of worth.

- Being of service to others, giving.

- Showing generosity of spirit.

- Loving, nurturing relationships.

- Any activity that makes you feel light in mind and body.

- Taking time to play, and having a playful attitude.

- Not stressing out other people.

- Devoting yourself to projects that have real meaning and purpose.

- Being self-aware.

- Expanding our awareness. Growing and maturing from the inside.

- Being comfortable with your inner world.

- Working through negative emotions like anger, envy, and fear.

- Self-acceptance.

- Reverence for Nature.

- Faith and a belief in a higher power, whatever that may be.
