Post #17 the five best

Of course, i am in the studio these days - always good - and drawing has been particularly on my mind. I asked myself what makes a drawing successful to me? and usually, its the quality of line. I decided to take a long hard look around the studio, identify my five favorite lines, and from now on, to use only those 5 best lines in my drawings.
so why not apply this concept, and more appropriately i may add, to our brain?
I ask you - imagine if you were only allowed to have 5 thoughts in your head at a time - what would those five thought be? would you waste one of them on "I can't believe that guy cut me off!" or would you rather have one of your five be "Love surrounds me" or "My body is a good healthy body"
Now the exercise, and it really is exercise because the brain is a muscle that can be trained -
is to only allow yourself 5 thoughts into your brain. So choose your five, and make them the best.
Only the best!
