So I am an individual of habit. I am very used to routine, having a daily schedule and following it. Doing things at certain times in certain ways is something I've done for a long time and I can't imagine not having this guide. Of course I don't follow my routine super strictly but I'm not used to doing things outside of my routine. Eating my meals at a certain time, even planning all these meals at the beginning of every week is something I must do. I also like to do things in a particular order or way and don't really like to change from the way I prefer. Just waking up everyday I have a particular order to my morning. I just don't like the idea of doing things without my routine.
In exchange my everyday characteristic was taking the time out of my day to paint. I have no creativity skills and I've not done Art since Primary School so this was already a challenge for me. I did like the idea of it though and was excited to try it out - I bought some paint and everything!. It is difficult to shut my door and be alone in my house - my parents like to invite themselves in a lot but I did manage to get some painting done. When I wasn't stressing over what to paint it really was a nice, peaceful way to release stress and just enjoy coming up with something that looked somewhat okay. There was something therapeutic about the whole thing and I honestly feel like doing this as a daily or weekly thing (even though the only thing that comes to mind to paint is trees).
