It’s Monday. you can be a high flying dynamo and make positive things happen. It starts one step at a time.

Art has a profound ability to influence our emotions, and this impact can be particularly beneficial on Monday mornings. The start of a new week often brings with it a sense of dread or reluctance; however, incorporating art into the beginning of your week can effectively uplift your mood.
Engaging with art can stimulate the brain and evoke positive feelings. Viewing vibrant colours or intricate compositions can release dopamine, enhancing your overall sense of well-being. Visiting a local gallery, such as Studio Bizio, allows you to immerse yourself in contemporary art and photography, providing an opportunity to experience new perspectives and ideas that can inspire and motivate your week ahead.
High flyers, often characterised by their ambitious nature and high-performance lifestyles, tend to prioritise their well-being in various ways. they might dedicate anywhere from 5 to 10 hours a week specifically to activities that develop and support their mental and physical needs.
Many successful individuals incorporate wellness routines into their daily lives, setting aside time in the mornings for workouts or meditative practices. They often recognise that maintaining a work-life balance is crucial for sustaining high levels of productivity and creativity.
Regular breaks during work hours are also common among high achievers, as they understand the importance of recharging. These breaks allow them to return to their tasks with renewed focus.
there is no exact amount of time high flyers generally allocate, but a significant portion of their weekly schedules factor in activities that spark ideas as well as reflect their understanding of achieving sustained success looks like.
surrounding yourself with art at home can create an inviting, inspiring and relaxing atmosphere. Hanging pieces that resonate with you can serve as a daily reminder of beauty and creativity, elevating your mood even before you step out the door. Whether it’s a stunning photograph or an abstract painting, having art in your space can foster positivity and encourage a mindset open to possibilities. the subliminal messages you receive from images that you pass every day be that in the street, on the bus/tube, in places you work stick. That’s why your home should be a place where you surround yourself with things that make you feel positive about yourself and life.
so, it’s Monday, consider dedicating a few moments to appreciate art today and everyday by visiting an exhibition in your lunch’ admiring pieces at a local café, or simply enjoying artwork on the walls you look at. Transform your routine by interacting with art as it can shift your mindset, allowing you to approach the week with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Embrace the potential of art to turn Monday blues into a vibrant start to your week.

And now some information about The painting in this post. made by Natalia Sergeevna Goncharova
'Dynamo machine' was created in 1913 by Natalia Goncharova in Cubo-Futurism style.
(Russian: Ната́лья Серге́евна Гончаро́ва; 3 July 1881 – 17 October 1962). She was a Russian avant-garde artist, painter, costume designer, writer, illustrator, and set designer. Goncharova's lifelong partner was fellow Russian avant-garde artist Mikhail Larionov. She was a founding member of both the Jack of Diamonds (1909–1911), Moscow's first radical independent exhibiting group, the more radical Donkey's Tail (1912–1913), and with Larionov invented Rayonism (1912–1914). She was also a member of the German-based art movement Der Blaue Reiter. Born in Russia, she moved to Paris in 1921 and lived there until her death.
Her painting vastly influenced the avant-garde in Russia. Her exhibitions held in Moscow and St Petersburg (1913 and 1914) were the first promoting a "new" artist by an independent gallery. When it came to the pre-revolutionary period in Russia, where decorative painting and icons were a secure profession, her modern approach to rendering icons was both transgressive and problematic. She was one of the leading figures in the avant-garde in Russia and carried this influence with her to Paris.
