Day 85: owning your journey 🗺️
Hi Artists,
It’s Day 85 of #The100DayProject 🥳
Recap and reflect:
How many days did you do your project this week?
How do you feel about where you are in your project?
What are your hopes and goals for the next couple of weeks?
Submit an image:
Here’s where to submit an image or video for this week’s Reel.
Our theme this week is owning your journey.
Keep going, is a thing I often write to you here. Wherever you are is perfect is another. You’re on your own path.
I mean these things, but I know that they can sound like platitudes. Especially if you don’t believe them for yourself.
Ultimately, the only person who can validate where you are in your creative journey is you.
This is something I have needed to hear before: you are never late for your own life. Maybe you do too. You are never late for your own creative journey.
How would you like to feel about your project on Day 100?
What does “owning your journey” mean to you?
What would it look like to be proud of where you are?
Do you trust the timing of your creative life?
KEEP GOING! I MEAN IT! 👏
XO,
Lindsay
Thanks for this post, and question...I feel so good about my project this year! it is my 2nd year participating in the 100 day project and it is a sea change from last year. Last year i was behind by days and eventually weeks and did not complete it at all. I was frustrated and disappointed with myself with regards to my project. This year I am excited and inspired by my project and have been either on time or at most 2 days behind, often with half the day's product ready but my work days are 14 hours long and I have fallen asleep numerous times putting together the poems and images for posting. I LOVE where I am with my project and I don't need any hopes, lol , because I AM ON IT! Very excited to finish the whole thing this time. So happy about it that I am planning on starting my own next 100 day project when the one completes.
It’s weird how I am disconnecting, and impatient for the 100 days to be done. I’m pursuing other interests and have really used up most of my photo reference. It’s time to switch things up within the project and that’s mostly meant getting more elaborate - which I’m not super interested in doing… simplifying would be good. I’m mostly happy with the results of my work… not so happy woth the level of self-criticism and all telling - it’s the self-care and play I often skip… all that said, I love where this has gotten me. And I remind myself that boredom generates creativity so I’m keeping going…
