Switching it up

Today I actually decided to start with an image. Normally I do my blogs the other way around: I write the blog post first and then create the image afterward.

But today I didn’t even come into this intending to write a blog post.

I came in trying to figure out a dream I had. After I was done talking through it, I made an image based on the dream. Then after creating the image, I thought, why not make this into today’s blog post?

So today I’m doing something different. I’m walking my dog, dictating into my phone, and creating my blog post at the same time.

And it reminded me that sometimes changing your routine doesn’t require some giant life overhaul. Sometimes it’s as simple as changing the order of things.

Take a different route to work.

Start with the image instead of the words.

Walk while you think.

Use a tool differently than you normally do.

Sometimes a small change is enough to wake up your mind and create something you weren’t even planning to make.

What is one small thing you could switch up this week just to see what happens?
