It’s been a while since sharing a video made me nervous. But I think it’s good to push my own edges and show you more of the real me. Some of you will vibe with my particular style of weird, and others might not. That’s okay. 

In this video, I share 3 writing practices I use during my morning journaling (aka Morning Pages) that are very strange, but also SUPER POWERFUL. 

Each has left a big impact on my life, my art, my business and MY SOUL. 

Do you have any weird and powerful writing practices you’d be open to sharing? If so either DM me or jump in the comments below and share them. 

Also, let me know which of the 3 practices I shared is most interesting to you. 

Big love, 

D

This is Tracy Clark. She’s many things; a successful entrepreneur, a spiritual teacher, a reverend, a podcaster, and a coach.

Working with Tracy was unique because of her powerful balance of energy. A lot of wonderful flowing creative feminine energy, which made her so easy to work with. But also a lot of structured and rooted masculine energy, which made for some amazing conversations about everything from politics to stocks, and even a mind-blowing discussion of the pandemic. A fascinating combination of yin and yang, which if I’m honest is very rare to come across. 

Another interesting thing about Tracy is how hopeful she is about the future of this planet. She’s been through a lot (like a lot a lot), but when she talked about where we will be in the next 5 years, her energy was light and hopeful. Yes, some things may get worse before they get better, but her belief is that things will be getting A LOT BETTER in the future. 

I often revisit our conversations from that day. Each encounter I have with Tracy leaves a unique impression on my life. I don’t think I have ever met anyone like her.

Thank you dear friend for what you bring to my life and the lives of others. 

Big love,

D

In December I offered a chance to win 1 FREE photoshoot with me in 2021. Over 100 people sent me their stories for this contest, which worked out to over 14,000 words… many of which moved me to my core. 

You guys have amazing lives and stories and picking a winner was INSANELY TOUGH. I have tremendous admiration and respect for each and every one of you.

Thank you for sharing a little piece of yourself with me in the submissions. I wish I could give all of you a free shoot. 

I’m going to do at least 2 more photoshoot giveaways in 2021. If you’d like to know when the next one will be, add your name to my email list and I’ll keep you updated. For now I need to recover from this selection process—that was SO challenging!

Congrats to the winner (watch the video if you’re curious who won). I will reach out to you in the next 2 days with next steps.

The Darius you know would not exist without morning meditation. 

I am not even kidding when I tell you that meditation is the key to my life and the most important thing I do as a creative human. 

The BEST ideas I have ever come up with… I received during morning meditation. 

The most profitable business advice? Morning meditation. 

The best love advice? Morning meditation. 

The best therapy? Morning meditation.

The most healing I have experienced? MORNING FREAKING MEDITATION!

In this video I share 5 reasons why morning meditation is a non-negotiable in my life.

If you are on the fence about incorporating morning meditation into your daily practice, my hope is that this video will give you a nudge over to our side. 😉

PS: If you need a little accountability and want to hang with kind, creative humans, come join us for a FREE morning meditation and journaling Zoom session. Happens EVERY Wednesday and Friday at 9AM EST.

Who would you be if you let go of what other people think?

Who would you be if you gave yourself full permission to shine?

How would your life change this year if you LET GO of your past and all of the times things didn’t go exactly how you had hoped?

What would happen to your life today if you truly accepted that tomorrow you could be dead?

What would happen to you this year if you found the courage to declare your dreams to the world—not the dumbed-down, diluted, safe version of your dreams, but your real fucking dreams?

I'm feeling a strong urge to RESET. So today I'm starting a 33-day challenge to rewire my brain and my dopamine receptors… which if I'm honest took a bit of a beating these last 2 weeks.

I have tinkered with each of these tasks in 2020, but I’m excited to explore what comes up in a more publicly accountable 33-day challenge. 

Here is my NO-list for the next 33 days:

1. No semen release (yes, you read that correctly)

2. No phones past 8pm

3. No phones before 8am

4. No Netflix

5. No TikTok

6. No work past 8pm

7. No Instagram (besides content creation + DMs)

And here is my YES-list for the next 33 days:

1. Yes morning meditation

2. Yes evening meditation

3. Yes daily journaling (AKA Morning Pages)

4. Yes yoga

5. Yes walks in nature

6. Yes reading daily

7. Yes buying a flip phone (with no apps)

Which do you guys think will be the most challenging? Which do you think will be the most rewarding?

Good morning beautiful humans! Happy Jan 02nd.

For those of you who could not make it to the last group meditation of 2020 (Dec 30th) here is the HD YouTube version of the actual meditation.⁣

If you'd like to JOIN US for the next meditation we meet every Wed + Fri at 9AM (est). --> www.artistmorning.com⁣

⁣Hope your first weekend of 2021 is BOMBDIGGITY!!⁣

Big love,⁣
