Oh I’ve found they help!

(IMPORTANT: The blog image doesn’t represent (or help in any way) the text in here.)

I used to believe that habits were for boring people with no magic in their life.

After learning ascension, I learned that not necessarily everything that I believed was true.

Then I understood that what works for you, to be happy -without hurting you or anyone else- is fine.

I even learned habits that have led me to have a more joyful life! Yes, it turns out that having habits has brought even more happiness to my life.

I will talk about the habits in the study.

Habits that have helped me to be more organized, be more creative and more entrepreneurial with my art.

1. Time

If painting professionally is your wish, you should set a schedule. Years ago, I started painting very late in the day or there were days that I did not paint. Then I started painting without stopping, without eating, almost without sleeping. Finding a midpoint has worked wonderful for me. I have discipline and free time. Commissions and art for me.

2. Material.

It seems very obvious, but then it is not.

It is important for me, to have the oils with their oil family of, the acrylics with their species, the watercolors, the pencils, everything in order, you know, Marie Kondo. But it makes the job easier. Everything looks clean and ready to be used by you.

3. Clean the palette. Clean the palette. Clean the palette

And I keep repeating it to myself every single day. My art teacher has taught that to me and it has worked for me.

"The final work is the reflection of your palette," he tells me constantly. If the palette is a mess and is dirty, the final work will look the same. And yes I have managed to see it in some of my works, since I clean my palette, colors and technique in my work has improved, the quality is better, the colors are cleaner.

As you can see, the tips are very simple, but they have made a big difference in me. Painting has become my passion, my work, my source of joy and money, since I have these habits I have seen how I have become more professional in my painting and has paid off in tangible things in my career.

I hope you decide to adopt these three small but wonderful habits.
