Anytime I feel stuck, obliged or bored with a task I use this simple question to shift my mindset:

What if this was art?
How could I make this thing art?

Instantly, I’m reminded that whatever I’m dealing with is not that serious. That I’m allowed to relax and find the joy, the juiciness and the flow in whatever I’m doing. That I have the permission to bring my creativity, my heart, my full self to the table.

How would you approach your thesis project…if you saw it as ART?
How would you do the dishes…
What would you place on your bedroom countertops…
How would you decide to dress…
How would you organize your schedule for the day…

…if you saw it as art?

Like magic, this simple reframe opens up a space of freedom and possibilities. It’s a reminder that we don’t have to come from the energy of pushing or reacting.

We are allowed to have fun with it!

The next email you have to send – what would happen if you saw it as ART?

Reframing anything as art makes it automatically 100x better.

Try it.
