Sure, it's easy to sit on your ass all day and complain nothings ever going your way. It's easy to say this+this+this=my ruin. But really, is anything getting done if you're not doing it? The old saying "you want something done right, you do it yourself", is a saying because it's TRUE. Want to make and sell art? Then MAKE IT and SELL IT. Hmmm, but that sounds too good to be true. Nope. the people out there that you look up to/admire/envy all have something you don't. They bust their ass getting their shit done. All day every day. It's your time. Your time to have what you want in life. And I'm going to help you do it. I'm gonna help you UNFUCK YOUR LIFE.

LIST OF SEVEN

1. Cut the TV and FB off. Sorry, I love reruns of SVU as much as the next gal, and boy do I love looking at everybody's yummy food pics, and trying to figure out who's passive aggressively talking shit about whom...but it's a big fat 'ole time suck.

2. Get yer butt to bed! Quit staying up till 2 playing some BS game on your phone, or staring at (again) the TV. Another quote? "Early to bed, early to rise" Man, I can get SO MUCH accomplished when I have a nice quiet house/studio to myself. I can work, clean, do what needs to be done and get it done before three!

3. Write a list. What do you need/have to do? Now, what do you want to get done? Do the need to first, and get as far as you can on the want to...if you don't finish that then slide it on over till tomorrow, but the need/have to do's are done! And that's how you get it done!

4. Cut off ALL distractions. I quit bringing my phone into my studio. I'd take a photo, then instagram it, then look at everyone else's instagram, then follow their links, then...day gone. ALL DISTRACTIONS, if that means petey the pooch is trying to play, send him out...pretend you're not home.

5. Quit procrastinating. You're gonna have to do the shit eventually. Might as well get it done, and then not only is it done, but it's not ramblin' around in your head, worrying you to death.

6. Quit shaming yourself. Yeah, so you had a shitty morning, so you laid on the couch and the next thing you know it's 2 o'clock...don't beat yourself up over it. BUT, don't let it happen tomorrow. It's the same with a diet or anything else...you fuck up, you start over, you win!

7. No more "poor me, I'm so _____________________. "Fuck that shit. Yeah, you may be broke, you may be out of shape, you may be sad...but the only way to fix it is to GET OFF YOUR ASS and DO IT YOURSELF. You don't get to talk shit about yourself, believe me, there are plenty of folks out there breaking their necks to hate on you. Don't pull yourself down with the self hate. You ain't so broke that you ain't on a computer...You ain't so out of shape that you're dead...and You ain't so sad that you're debilitated...if you're reading this, then you're curious as to how you can get unfucked, which means, you still have hope.

I'm not just writing this from some glass house in Utopia, btw. I go through this shit too. I get sad, I feel fat, I AM broke. But the only way I'm going to get help is to help myself. Stay positive, surround myself with people who love and understand me, and take care of my own biz. It really can be that easy. You can even start small...just say nothing but positive stuff to yourself all day. After that little self-confidence boost, tomorrow should be a piece of pie!
