Expressing Feelings through Art

For quite a while now I've been looking inwards and asking myself lots of questions about my life, my future, my path, asking for clarity, joy, and true happiness.

I've been reading personal growth and spiritual books, follow therapists and inspiring people online, to learn more about what is it that I really need. Then I come to realize that I've been in this "chasing my dream future" game for too long, I realized that am not living my present and only life to the fullest.

After praying for clarity and meditating, I come to notice that when I follow my instincts things unfold for me in a mysterious but nice way in life. Following my intuition is a practice that I never had until my father past away. That was one of the last thing he told me: Follow your intuition. So I started getting curios about it since then.

Now that I follow my intuition I am starting to crave other things like being creative, which bring me to write this post and share my journey.  I started taking a class online about healing through art and this is my first art journal page of this healing process. Before I started I asked myself a question:

What hurts inside? 

then... I asked myself another question which is what I am going to journal about,
this question is personal, like
what makes me happy? what am I grateful for? or like mine was:

How do I want to feel?

Then I went about working on my art journal.

I really didn't have anything in mind to start with I just looked at the blank page and asked myself that question:

How do I want to feel?

I started looking at some magazines and things just started showing up for me. 

I didn't glue anything down yet, I just arranged in the page how I liked it and then when I was done cutting things out I moved everything carefully out of my page and did a quick intuitive background. It dried pretty quick so I proceeded to glue things down :)

I feel so much better now :)

Thanks for visiting :)

and this is what's on my workday today :) WOYWW

You Have the Power... a reminder

This is a lesson that I learned and would like to share, especially for all those woman out there who need to get stronger and build their self esteem.

This lesson is about power, is about the power within you.
You have the power within yourself to relax, to get angry and take it out of control, to smile whenever you want to.
You have the power to mange a situation as you need it.
You have the power to love, to forgive, to remember or to stay at peace.
You have the power within myself and take matters into my own hands and do as pleased and do the right thing to remedy a situation.
You have the power to love, to relax, to take action.
The power to use your time appropriately and wisely.
The power to stop and meditate when needed.
The power to take a break and journal.
The power to empower my stressed body.
The power to stop thinking and be present.
You have the power to learn.
The power to talk to yourself.
You have the power within yourself to love and take care of yourself.
You have the power to stop and breath to stop and think.
The power to stop bad habits.
The power to stay in touch, to communicate with others.
The power to belive

And one last reminder,
You have the power to be thankful, and remind yourself of all the things you are grateful for :)

Thanks for visiting :)
I hope this helped you, inspired you and remind you that you do have the power to do, act and feel the way you want to feel.

Love,

Clemencia
