COMMIT TO BEING CREATIVE

SPEND 10 MINUTES A DAY DOING SOMETHING THAT YOU LOVE

Are you time poor?
Do you miss doing things you love because you're too busy doing the things you hate?
Have you got a creative streak but no time to do anything?



IT'S TIME TO MAKE YOURSELF A HIGHER PRIORITY!!!

JUNE 1st WILL BE OUR STARTING POINT..........ARE YOU GOING TO JOIN US!?!!

These days we are so busy 'doing things' that we aren't doing what we want really want to..............our creative endeavours are always the last thing on our list because we feel guilty if we do them instead of cleaning the house or spending time with the children or pets.

The mess and people will still be there..........but you'll be sad at the end of the day because you haven't been creative.


So TAKE THE PLEDGE with me to be creative EVERY DAY.............and spend just 10 minutes on something you truly love.  If you usually have trouble looking for a spare hour, then don't!!  It's not that hard to find the time if it's only 10 minutes....
   
                *         get off facebook
                *         turn the tv off at night
                *         wake up 10 minutes earlier
                *         use a stopwatch to get the kids into action in the morning
                *         stay up at the end of the day
                *         get your kids involved
                *         find time during your lunch break (you are entitled to one, you know!)

As long as you GET IN ACTION you'll find that you can spend some quality time on you - and that's ok!!

Here's some ideas of what can be done in 10 minutes - with a few links to other blogs courtesy of Pinterest!

  2. Amy, your pieces are amazing, and I'm sure they'd take longer than 10 minutes, but I'm so glad you're taking part in the challenge! Sadly the first thing that goes when we're busy is our fun - this is just a small window every day - hope it brings you joy over the next month
