Right now I’m loving the app Lift<\/a>. It’s a great way to keep track of your daily habits and be accountable socially to others in the group. My current habits: Mediate, No Yelling (I have 3 kids), Say “No” to 1 thing each day, Stick to a budget, Take Photos, Work on \/ Make art, Write Blog Post, Write in Journal, Daily Gratitude List, Do one nice thing for my partner, Exercise. I also have two healthy eating ones which I can’t decide between, Flexitarian and VB6 (Eating Vegan between 6 o’clock). The eating ones have somewhat fallen to the wayside since we don’t have gas service in our new house, which has made it a bit of a challenge to stick to any eating plan for me lately.<\/p>\n

I’m most excited right now about having added the Work on \/ Make art and Take Photos habits. I just recently bought a Lomography Diana F+ camera<\/a> at lovely B&H and have been taking pictures daily with it. Years ago I owned a Holga but this camera is such a step up (so far) from that one, that I lost in our house fire. I haven’t gotten the film developed yet but I just can’t wait. I’m also really happy about the Lomography community built up around the cameras, and I received a lovely hardcover 10 year anniversary book about the Diana camera with tons of photos along with the camera.<\/p>\n

I’ve also discovered the wonders of giant sales at Michael’s Craft Stores. Which has allowed me to purchase really large canvases very cheap. So cheap that I give some to my kids and have allowed them to work on them, and will start working on my own right beside them. I also have the space for a small studio in my newly renovated house which is just killer. So all in all, I’m just so happy to have this major house renovation over so that I can get back to focusing on creativity in all of it’s different forms and all the other habits that support me being healthy and joyful every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
