Art-O-Gram: Just no more good intentions!

Are you also one of the people who are now tend to be persuaded to be persuaded to cast their own in any way?

Neither from a diet consultant who recommends that you are worthless in terms of nutrition, but for cents to be produced. Still from a fitness trainer who obviously does not think she is able to properly trot through the city park, which she doesn't really motivate them to move more.

Not even from a language trainer who wants you to learn every week so much vocabulary, or from a trainer in the computer course that cannot really explain why something works that way and not otherwise.

Then just leave it with the laudable resolutions this year.

Take the year very relaxed, true to the motto of the psychotherapist and Zen teacher Karlied Graf Dürckheim with "everyday life as an exercise" . Count Dürckheim, whose full name Karl Friedrich Alfred Heinrich Ferdinand Maria Graf Eckbrecht of Dürckheim-Montmartin is, has a controversial teaching that should not be made here; However, he is certainly not entirely wrong with the idea of ​​everyday life as an exercise.

The exercise is even in most cases that prevent people from realizing good intentions, and it can also be explained what is wrong about the usual good intentions: This is always about "from 0 to 100", from "no sport" to "three times a week", from "no word" to "perfect English conversations"

Most projects can be realized quite easily when they practice, so start slowly and wait for the innovations or brain to get used to the innovations and demand more by themselves.

Perhaps you don't want to learn a new sport or exercise more, or eat less, or eat more of certain things in the new year. Instead, you're interested in perfecting your mind a little more? That's possible with practice, of course, but you might be surprised by the suggestion to start the "brain-perfecting" project with something truly enjoyable—namely, adding more art to your life.

Why this? Quite simply, creativity is an important basis for all people who like to work with their "brain". Creative people are better motivated to learn new things, like to try it out and good new ways, can be innovative together with others.

This is a joy in more new things, gives courage to develop your own way to get closer to the desired goals. Everyone actually has a desire to be creative. That is why a creative life people happy in the long run.

First of all, however, it is a change to allow more creativity in your own life, and changes scare us, an inheritance of unsafe primal times that we can hardly escape. That is why the approach to more creativity in life works so well through the detour of art.

It scares little. If we look at more art, we can develop our own thoughts completely unhindered. If we start painting ourselves, we can develop our own ideas without fear of negative consequences.

Of course, you can also choose completely different forms of expression, e.g. B. the proven old photo album. It is an excellent valve to creative ideas .

You can come up with new series of photos that are created on the next walks or shopping strolls, and make new photo albums or photo books. The commentary text is quickly in demand.

Such experiments then gradually make them courageous. B. come up with the idea of ​​simply learning a new language yourself, without a vocabulary trainer, only with a few exciting books in this language and a dictionary (or the Internet).

If you not only want to communicate, but strive for grammatical perfection, it can still be tackled afterwards, but until then you have already opened up a completely new horizon ...

If you could even speak of a "good resolution" here, it would probably mean: look at more art, and it is best to do every crazy idea of ​​doing something yourself.
