I'm a bit exhausted with The artists way, or maybe I'm just a bit exhausted. Life keeps happening, in big (illness, death, travel) and small (laundry, meals, meetings) ways.
I've neglected MP and dates. I powered through chapter 8 this past weekend (fear of falling behind, my motivation)
I was pleasantly surprised at how much of the chapter I related to. Grieving artistic loss, and giving myself the gift of healing. I mean, who doesn't love a gift? Filling the form was another section that resonated strongly.
Thinking about the odds as emotional poison. I drew a martini glass 🍸 in my journal and wrote in some of the poison I tell myself. As a visual reminder not to drink poison.
A small serendipity this week, I did the Journaling task 'name the dream'. Later in the week I was at a meeting for women starting small business/home based business. It gave me great clarity when the presenter asked each of us to discuss our mission. JC knows what she is talking about, it's just time consuming and hard work.
My Morning Pages are getting a bit of expressive and emotional ranting on them these past couple of weeks . I have had a medical / health diagnosis I really hadn’t been expecting …( was in count down for our 5 week European adventure of a life time trip away ) am only in the early stages of appointments as well…thus Julia has taken a bit of a back burner …but the pages are bing used . To me that’s what the Artists way is all about …somewhere to express your emotions , take a step back and pause , then hopefully see your way through to the next step with more positivity and less anxiety . Upwards and Onwards with the help of pen , coloured pencils and the trusted journal . Thanks Helen, I love the way you express your words …. Jo
