1. Write down what you usually do
2. Brainstorm some things that you don’t usually do because (fill in the blank):
* I don’t spend money on advertising because PR is better
* I never go into any debt at all because who knows what tomorrow will bring
* I only spend money on my art supplies because (well, who needs an excuse for art supplies?)
3. Pick one of the above and journal about how your life would look if you did that something you don’t usually do. Be creative with how it would look. Give yourself a budget and go “spend” it and think about how it might shift your outlook.
4. Identify the walls of your box (you will know them immediately - the minute you think outside your box, the voices that tell you that want you want is silly, impossible, etc., will start up. That is your box)
5. Write down the walls of your box (all the voices and what they’re saying).
6. Light a candle, take a deep breath or two and burn the walls of your box. As you breathe out, bless the old ways that once helped you. As you breathe in say a prayer of gratitude for this opportunity to think bigger.
7. Pick one thing you could do that would move you closer to changing what you usually do.
8. Do it.
9. Repeat (okay, if you’ve read this blog at all before you know I’m big on giving something extra, so today you get 9 ways instead of 8).

on being a polymath...

polymathic:

Who is way too fond of ellipses, and knows an awful lot about an awful lot…

It creates focus problems. It is not ADD. It makes you wish Leonardo were still alive, so you could have a cup o’ tea.
