Altered LIfe Project

What is the "altered life project"? I suppose it needs to be defined for my sake as much as for anyone elses. I like altering things. All kinds of things. Books, shoes, walls, tables, chairs, my hair, my relationships, my attitude, my life. Define "alter".

Alter (v.) 1. to change or make different; modify 2. to adjust for a better fit 3. to change or become different 4. to cause a transformation 5. to make or become different in some particular way, without permanently losing one's former characteristics or essence.

It takes 21 days to form a new habit. Which habits would I like to have? Easy answers first. Same ones everyone else would say first I imagine. I'd like to be healthier, so excercise. I'd like to be more organized. I'd like my house to be clean. I'd like to make art everyday. Or at least do something creative everyday. I'd like to take more risks...no risk, no reward. I'd like to deepen my relationships with my family. I'd like to live a big and full life instead of getting through the day. Don't get me wrong. My life has loads of potential, the only thing really missing from my fabulous life is me. I forget to enjoy, live my life and become focused on the mundane, trivial crap. So...where to begin? First how to silence that nasty voice in my head thats asking me how I'm going to find time in a day to excercise, clean, make art, have deep and meaningful relations with my family, work, and find joy in all the "mundane" things that are part of life?

Just start. With what? What to do first? I feel like I should start one thing at a time, but I want to start in all parts of my life. I can go back to doing the "hoedown" excercise in the morning. Only takes 10 minutes. I can commit to writing here every day. That counts as a good habit. I could revisit "flylady" for some support in getting and keeping my house clean. And I can start carrying my camera around with me so I can feel like I'm getting some art in.

Okay, don't forget to breathe. Tomorrow is officially day 1 of The Altered Life Project. Excercise in the morning. Bring camera to work with me and take pictures on my lunch break. Visit Flylady.com after work and shine my kitchen sink and post here before I go to bed.
