Art, Heart and Healing has been-just that....healing. We started out writing all our negative feelings and thoughts that our inner critic says about us (I had a whole page...and I could have kept going. Sad!) and gessoed over them and then we made our page "beautiful". Tam is a miracle worker, I must say. It felt good going over all of my crap with gesso...and then thinking about it and trying to turn around my negative statements into something positive. I find that I think badly about myself unconsciously...but now that I am aware of it I am going to try and turn it around before I let it in.
How do you handle the mean voices in your head? We all have them you know....
And I will add these words to the picture...
This is my positive statement to myself. What is your affirming statement for "yourself"?
I am totally looking forward to week 2...we will be painting a board book. How exciting!!! I can't wait :)
