LCN 038: Morning Ritual Redux & Banishing Perfectionist Gremlins
Back in episode 10, I shared with you my morning ritual. In the six months since then, my morning ritual has changed quite a lot, and I thought it would be interesting to share with you what’s changed and why, and what I’ve learned in the process.

Hence this experiment: unless I have to rush to be somewhere (which rarely happens, because I do my best to avoid morning appointments!), at least I get 15 minutes of art time to start the day.
And that makes me happy!
Feeding my creative hungers makes my day go better.
