WARRIOR WOMEN TIP:

 

TAKE YOURSELF ON A DATE

 

I spent the day at the:

 

Mint Art Museum 

 

Walking around all by myself, looking at all the exhibits is my favorite…

 

No one to rush me or wonder why I’m taking so long. 

 

My favorite is getting to witness the way a piece was created or the life long work of an artist. 

 

Both types of exhibits remind me:

 

NOTHING HAS GONE WRONG

 

Even if…

 

•It seems like figuring something out is taking too long

 

•Life feels frustratingly like a hamster wheel

 

•My business or a project or a relationship is taking to long to see the results I want 

 

Seeing what artists take a life time to create…

 

Tweak things and try again

 

Then try again

 

Put their work out there 

 

Take more risks

 

Break some rules 

 

Travel across the world to work with mentors

 

Seek out people they admire and don’t give up until they’ve learned what they want to learn

 

Break some more rules 

 

Sit next to artists who inspire them and do exactly what they do 

 

Travel back across the country

 

Keep trying

 

And trying 

 

Tweaking

 

Believing in their dream 

 

Breaking their own brain rules.

 

Seeing these types of exhibits reminds me to zoom out on my life 

 

EVERYTHING is going exactly the way it’s supposed to…

 

Or else it would all be happening differently. 

 

What date would you take yourself on? 

 

 

Dates I’ve taken myself on:

•A random photography exhibit in a random city

•Explored a town 

I had never been to

•Went to the movies in the middle of the day

•Shopped at thrift and vintage stores

•Spent hours walking through a photography exhibit featuring women National Geographic photographers 

•Got ice cream

•Took a walk in a new place
