In my creative letter this month I talked about the importance of training every aspect that allows us to live as creatives, artists, freelancers or simply to achieve our dreams.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Many people train only their creativity.
It\u2019s fun, it\u2019s our favourite\u2026
but it\u2019s not enough!!!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why I\u2019ve planned a\u00a0full-body training programme over the coming months\u2026 <\/strong>Now imagine your creativity as a physical body. Put a good leash on it if it refuses to come along and take it to the gym!
Over these months we\u2019ll train:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attitude, Creativity, Marketing, Accounting and much more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want to start from the foundations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATTITUDE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

is one of the most important muscles: it\u2019s the mental posture you bring into your studio every day<\/strong> and the lens through which you look at the world.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changing your attitude means no longer waiting for ideal conditions and starting to behave like the artist you want to be,\u00a0leaving aside fears, anxieties, distractions or negative attitudes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you read, you\u2019ll find portraits of people who had character and attitude to spare\u2026 so you can get a little inspiration!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LET\u2019S START!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of you ask me \u2014 and it\u2019s partly why I find myself writing about these topics \u2014 how I manage never to lose my creativity, to produce so much and to make work and creating for myself coexist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I think the answer is:\u00a0RHYTHM<\/strong>, MENTAL POSTURE AND CALLING.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wake up every day without an alarm, as punctual as a Swiss watch: every day my stomach tells me I\u2019m hungry at more or less the same time; I write my journal and do yoga every morning. I go into my studio WITH OR WITHOUT things to do. These are automatic actions that, willingly or not, I\u2019ve switched on in my body and that are part of my routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end we\u2019re still animals, creatures of habit, and even if you feel that consistency isn\u2019t part of you, it\u2019s really just a muscle: some people are born with it stronger and others have to train it every day. But once it\u2019s switched on, everything starts to move on its own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Workout: Consistency<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We know it usually takes about 21 days<\/strong>for an action to become automatic<\/strong>. But why not start with a month<\/strong> and then move on, without any break, to two months<\/strong>?
Doing it this way, your mind will start to put down roots<\/strong> in an attitude, an action or whatever it is\u2026 and in the end it will come out naturally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I invite you to plan the next 30 days<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
