A detox?

In April 2015 at the suggestion of a friend, I embarked on a 10 day sugar detox. No desserts, candy, limited fruits, and even no fake sugar, and oh yes just to make sure I wasn't swapping one ill for another, no simple carbohydrates, bread, pasta, rice, no dairy, no alcohol and no caffeine. ( Ok I drew the line at that...nothing comes between me and my morning coffee). Anyway, it was an eye opening 10 days and I have more or less followed the guidelines since then. (With allowances for special meals and special occasions.)

So having proved to myself that i could stick to something that i have said is meaningful and important to me, I turn my attention to art. "I'm an artist" I say as the paint hardens on my palette while I fix that one last detail on the presentation for my paying job. "Art is important to me" I say while I find myself cleaning the studio "so i can paint", but the only problem is...I'm doing more cleaning than painting. So this is just what I needed...the 30 day procrastination detox. Wish me luck.
