Easy Motivation

I've been Lucky enough the past few days, to stumble upon really great free content. Which has lead to me becoming extremely motivated... and easily.

Here's my breakdown of how to get Motivated into 3 easy steps!

1) Think of the activity you really enjoy.
2) Intensify the actual feeling i get when I think of the things i really like doing. I notice where the feeling is. (I imagine my feeling inside as a kind of energy ball haha) If that sounds funny, it's okay, funny normally leads to smiles which actually can make you very happy for no reason.
3) Take control of the ball - When something spins really fast it has more energy - and spin the feeling really fast so that the spinning causes more intense feelings of laughter, desire! with this feeling going you think of the activity you want to be motivated to do.

This works for things you don't really want to do too! eg.
Doing the dishes - not really fun hey?
1) Think of doing the dishes - take the feeling and make it small
2) Get a great feeling like above and add in accomplishment. And necessity! like hygiene.
3) Think of doing the dishes.

The other thing that works great for me, is when I do the dishes I just do it unconsciously whilst I think of cool things to animate or draw even revise my learnings from school! All whilst doing the dishes! I'm sure my wife one day will be happy with a clean kitchen :D

I think it's important for all human beings to take control of their neurology to better their lives.

Making more art!

Q: How many good feelings do you think you have?

Keep on being awesome! Here some more pictures

Bliss continued

Busy with a really cool animation, it's really hard to concentrate when you so excited! haha I actually have to calm myself down and say wait a minute now! it's not going to animate by itself... then as soon as I've done a little bit it starts all over again. It's really amazing how captivating it is to see your creations move. I can't even begin to imagine how Shawn Kelly feels when he watches transformers! OMW!

Finally an Update

Wow, I should dedicate more time to doing my short, between learning 3d Modeling in Maya, drinking coffee or wait for it... Green Mint TEA! and eating toast seems the days are going faster and faster! But even though there's all this learning going on here's a small update.
An animation about nothing. Gambit runs in throws some cards. Mainly to do some FX animation.
And the run cycle I was talking about a while ago:





Hope to be finished with the short next weekend. My 3d project is due on the 12th of June, this coming friday. After which I'll be dedicating more time to the project.

As always - smile, be awesome and stay tuned.
