Today, November 14 is my day off and tomorrow officially starts my LOA or Leave of Absence from a job that helped get my out of debt.  COVID 19 is on the rise and I think it prudent to no longer be an essential worker for a while.  So, I'm taking this time to improve my MIND, BODY and SPIRIT.  I started by doing some yoga for my body, just 10 minutes today.  I hope to do yoga everyday.  I have started reading an interesting book -- at least interesting to me.  I hope it will help me to understand how my mind works a bit better.  If followed it could help me how to control some of my artist's wild brain.  Your Creative Brain; 7 steps to maximize imagination, productivity and innovation in your life by Shelley Carson, PhD was found on one of my many searches. Great too, it was in the public Library!  Spirituality has been important to me for a lot of years.  So I will be spending more time there as well.

I've started setting goals for each area and when that goal is reached I just set another one.  That has worked for me in the past.  It is like taking baby steps and each goal is a baby step and the next will be a little bit bigger or harder.  

Body:  lose weight, toned muscles, and cardio health will be the areas that I plan to concentrate on.  Cleaning is put here because it takes physical effort to clean my apartment.  Also, dog (Chico) walking.  He may get longer walks or more walks.

Mind:  memorize more, read more non-art books ( audio books fall in this category).  Games like sudoku fits here.  I enjoy working with numbers.

Spirit: I have had many questions when I read the Bible.  So I will be googling, graphing, mapping out to see what patterns show up.  This section also overlaps into the mind section.

Well, we shall see how this first day go.  Until tomorrow have a great productive day!
