What’s in your fridge?

Some weeks my fridge is full of nutritious options, yet most weeks the fridge has food that needs to be tossed or just not much in there in general.

Our most creative life needs the first type of fridge. We have to go out to the store (gather inspiration), on a regular schedule and keep colourful fruits and vegetables in stock.

And yes it costs money to eat healthy, but if you buy whole foods consistently you have a nice base to work with. Adding on some protein doesn’t break the bank after your ducks are in a row.

For this reason, I spend quite a bit of money on guitar lessons, especially when you add them up going back to 2019. That’s money that pinches me in the bum when it’s time to pay the bill but I know that every dollar is an investment in me.

I wish I could take more group fitness classes, but the one I take every Friday helps turn on my neurons and get rid of the bad energy that is accumulating in my blood.

Find the support that keeps your most creative work going, and stick with that.

I wrote this in a previous edition which is also on topic:

One prescription for doing this is given by Julia Cameron’s Artist Date. This refers to setting aside a part of your day, once a week to go out and experience something new.

An easy one is going to the art gallery or going on a hike. But you have to do it solo, and in the case of the hike, she even specifies that you can’t bring your dog with you.

What helps keep your creative cup filled?
