Pages of thought.....
Before the new year I pondered and reflected on what I loved in my life and added wellness,space and was something I wanted to do more of....staying active can be a challenge these days as my energy levels are soooo up and down....I cannot do much about this and the one thing that enables me to listen to my body and work with whatever mindset or energy I have is yoga.... it is quite a gently transformational practice for me...I spent time pondering over how I practice and what my focus was...and I created an art journal spread to honour it....
When I was caught up in the frenzy of christmas I felt a surge of materialism that I was really pretty uncomfortable with....I find this pattern a stress provoker and although initially a buzz comes from frantically buying it really never quite hits the spot where love kicks in sooooo I really wanted to examine it with a view to being mindful about it this year and to challenge it ....again I thought pretty deeply about my values and beliefs avoiding judgements as they do not seem real to me they are a kind of game my thoughts play!.....and i came up with my spread highlighting all I needs is in me....ok food n water necessary! and enjoyed but giving love usually reciproctes love and we all have divinity within....these two spreads although not overly elaborate really embody some of my real focus and positive thoughts and reflections I did at that time......
Mini journal planner
Into my second week of intention for January...am following 2 projects but have gone small and simple for my journal as I want it to be really portable and easy to create my pages so as my practice is weekly,is mindful and full of thought and the focus is on intention and staying motivated with that intention in the weeks and months ahead. I hope to use some of the technique and inspiration from the documented life and journal 52 to do this .....and as ever it will be my perception and art that I create as authenticity is sooo important to me, and part of my journey, when expressing myself through art journalling..I hope to post a few pages in the facebook group but will probably blog here a little bit more in respect of my progress....some fab work going on in these two projects and am so grateful for the opportunity to tag along.
