Happy Sunday! I’m taking tomorrow off as a belated double birthday celebration with my best friend, so today is a work day, but I took the time for some morning doodling in my sketchbook before getting to work. ?

What are you creating today?

Itty bitty morning doodle today. Lots to do to get ready for tomorrow’s free creativity workshop! Are you coming? It’s at 11am PT, but if you can’t join me live I’ll send a link to the replay if you register at http://bit.ly/2u8yQvB ?

I will help you stop the guilt and get past the resistance, and you will learn: • The surprising truth about why you feel resistance to the thing you love to do. • How to make every creative block your friend. • The unexpected science of how creative play affects the brain (you will never look at it the same way again!) I hope to see you there! ?

Morning doodle before leading a rally call with my Creative Sandbox Community members. I do that twice a month–it’s like open office hours, where members can ask me anything, and we get to just hang out in my virtual living room for an hour together.

It’s my favorite part of the Creative Sandbox Community–getting together in real time. ?

And doodling like this in the morning? I almost skipped it today. That happens a lot. But I reminded myself that I could take just a few minutes.
It would recharge my brain. It would make me feel better.
Sure enough, it did!
I lost myself in this doodle. I’ve been at this practice long enough that my inner 4-year-old finally feels safe enough to come out, and she has FUN! She plays and explores and makes messes, and I often really marvel at how much I enjoy what she creates.

Not always, but often. ?

That’s the practice. That’s the Creative Sandbox Way. Small daily acts. Think tiny and daily (Guidepost #4). Go play!

Doodling in my sketchbook (Strathmore Visual Journal, Mixed Media paper) while listening to @jeffgoins and @elizabethmarshall7920 on Jeff’s Portfolio Life Podcast. Good stuff.
