The Creative Life
A thru Z
To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

I hope you had an exciting time at the art supply store.
I can't wait to see what everyone makes with new and interesting material.
A is for Affirming Yourself
To start this weeks assignments you will need your sketch journal,
pens, marker, paint, whatever you want to create with.
When we are thinking about where we are in the world or who you are I like to start with affirmations.
There will be two parts to this weeks assignment.
1. Let's start with who you are. What names do you answer to? Maybe you have a nickname, your relationships with family, friends, co workers.
Do you like titles such at Mrs., Mr., Ms. Dr. .
We you many people to different people, but all of them make up who you are.
On the first side of the paper write your name, and all the names you go by.
Make them big, small, upside down, bold. Fill the who page and color it in.
2. Affirmations. I like affirmations but like it has been said before,
affirmations are only words if they do not motivate you to move.
Pick three (3) preexisting affirmations that really speak to you.
Something that you could really believe.
Next, write three (3) that you make up.
These will truly be words from you
and should be words that will motivate you.
Lastly, take all six (6) affirmations and write them on the back side of the name page.
These will become your motivation affirmations.
Once a day for this next week, write out all six affirmations.
Write them each three times.
Here's what will happen,
each day you will start writing the affirmations,
day by day one or two of the affirmations will fall away,
don't worry that's ok.
Because by the time the seventh day comes
you will be naturally only writing one affirmation three times.
That's the affirmation that will become your motivation and motto!!
Now, for those who are feeling more energetic, you can continue on to find your most powerful A word.
Fill a new journal page with this one A word
in all the most creative ways you can think of.
It sometimes helps to sit with nature and breath deeply before doing a creative project.
Have fun with this, take your time, and as always be inspired,
