Third week was haaard, I recognize this as the phase where I've been giving up before. I'll continue this time but it's been very frustrating.

Morning pages

They felt unnecessary and I skipped them a few mornings, although when I did I felt bad and wrote in the evenings instead.

Artist date

I didn't plan for a date this week so I ended up having a beer in a bar by myself and decided it was enough, better luck next week

Synchronicities

In this chapter they introduce the idea of synchronicity, they ask by the week's end if I experienced any and I think I did. We have been very indecisive on what to do for design week in Milan this year. Last week we tried to put our ideal scenario into words and started pulling some threads. One day after the other two founders of different art- and design institutions called me up and it might turn out how we planned. Idk maybe this is just work haha but taking intentional steps towards what you want and get instantly rewarded like that felt a bit like synchronicity.

Other discoveries

It says in the book that "anger is not the action itself, it is action’s invitation" and I'm trying to look at my frustations this way.

Okok second week

‍They were easier this week, had a change of tone, showed much more self respect. I think the affirmation thing is working lol

‍Went to see Ann-Sofie Back’s exhibition at Liljevalchs and really liked it. I also saw Vårsalongen, their annual juried group exhibition. We’ve stopped sending our work there because we're never accepted haha :/ they’re sleeping on Swedish Girls but there were some paintings I liked
