From the preceding list, write down two favorite things that you’ve avoided
that could be this week’s goals. These goals can be small: buy one roll of film
and shoot it. Remember, we are trying to win you some autonomy with your
time. Look for windows of time just for you, and use them in small creative
acts. Get to the record store at lunch hour, even if only for fifteen minutes.
Stop looking for big blocks of time when you will be free. Find small bits of
time instead. Record below what you did and how you managed to fit it into
your schedule.
Dip back into Week One and read the affirmations. Note which ones
cause the most reaction. Often the one that sounds the most ridiculous is
the most significant. Write three chosen affirmations five times each day
after your morning pages; be sure to include the affirmations you made
yourself from your blurts.
