🍂 AUTUMN INSPIRATION
It is in Autumn that the impermanence of all things and the assurance of change are all around us.
For many people that may produce a feeling place of fear, anxiety, or depression.
What do you do when you feel the emotions of loss, grief, anxiety?
We play with our journal, our hobbies, and our creative pursuits and in turn begin to be creative about our family, our work and ourselves. Creativity breeds creativity across the board.
That is the beauty of the Creative Journal.
It allows for observation, imagination, and self-awareness to occur through an active creative outlet. Practicing any creative outlet benefits all other experiences.
The more you practice, with intention, the more healing can occur.
We will give simple form to some emotions in our Creative Journal today.
📣 TODAY'S AFFIRMATION:
"I use my creative process to acknowledge and give a voice to my emotions."
📓 CREATIVE JOURNAL EXERCISE
We are going to do some line and colorwork to give physical life to our emotions.
Focus on each of the following words individually, momentarily feeling that emotion.
JOY
ANGER
FREEDOM
GRIEF
BOREDOM
INSECURITY
COMPASSION
ANXIETY
DEPRESSION
CONTENTMENT
PASSION
CONFUSION
EXCITEMENT
For each of these emotions use a continuous line (don't pick up your pen) and draw that emotion line.
For the same emotions, choose a color that resonates with each emotion listed. Combine both exercises if that feels right to you.
🙏 A MOMENT OF GRATITUDE
"As I engage with my emotions creatively,
I feel grateful for ___________________ "
