Winters are GREY here. Since you mention clutter, do you know FlyLady? In spite of the occasional christian talk, I love the woman. Those little reminders in the email to build a routine do help. You can do anything for 15 minutes! <br />http://FlyLady.net<br />Yoga, good food. I recently added Camu Camu to my almost-daily regimen and find it useful to lift mood AND control appetite. I bought a kilo to share with a friend, way cheaper than capsules.<br />The store gives you a 6% rebate at some point if you become an affiliate. If you do order this, I would earn 3 dollars or so, I hope you can forgive that. Great place.<br /><br />http://wildhealing.netIen in the Kootenayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766317652520657570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179324192353491323.post-66940100943894598632010-01-11T21:08:44.797-08:002010-01-11T21:08:44.797-08:00I think we can all slip into depression from time ...I think we can all slip into depression from time to time and sometimes without knowing what the cause is.

...For exercise, if you can, do the 5 Tibetans Rites<br />http://www.lifeevents.org/5-tibetans-energy-rejuvenation-exercises.htm<br /><br />You might not be able to do them all at the beginning, but once I stuck with it, I can now almost do all of them and they only take a few minutes a day.<br /><br />Take a few minutes each day for mediation. I listen to Bach of all things.<br /><br />I find Tai Chi fun like Yoga.<br /><br />For positive affirmation each day, the 81 numbers of Tao helps me.<br /><br />As to the plan to market your paintings...List your websites/blogs on the directory at dmoz.com free, leave your business cards every where you go, give away a free painting--a small one--people enter by sending you an email with whatever you want in the subject line-this helps to build your mailing list, if your local television, radio, etc., news stations show or have local people segments on them, schedule for an interview--if you don't know ask, I have done this and it helps to promote you. Don't promote your paintings, promote your brand (YOU). Make as many contacts as possible and keep in touch with those contact---many will be your repeat customers. Do a video and put it on youtube, google videos, yahoo videos--talk about you, your art, and what your art can do for the buyer--or maybe you take your proceeds or a percentage and donate it to your favorite charity.<br /><br />Contact me via email and we can brainstorm some more----cyannris@gmail.comCindy Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260377463308093944noreply@blogger.com
