@@thetrueholybob434 it’s honestly the best habit I’ve ever implemented. It’s been so interesting looking back on my journal seeing how much stress I was holding in the first month or so and then gradually creating more space and clarity
this is really helpful, thank you ☺️ i've just started reading the book but having a look forward helps me to know how to prepare and set time aside for the programme!
@@birdsbirdsworms best of luck in this journey! I hope it’ll be a straight path for you but I would suggest trying to be gentle with yourself if you do fall out of the habit at first xx
This book is so good. I'm in week 2 but the insights I am gaining about myself and other areas of my life have been helpful. It's not just exploring creativity for me, but also my spirituality and reconnecting with faith, and courage. My favourite task so far is the 10 tiny changes. I like that the activity encourages you to make the list of all the things you'd like to do, and set them as goals.
Great video! Have meant to do this for years. I bought the book back when it first came out and then even repurchased (more than once!) when I couldn't find my copies, lol) However, I wasn't ready for it then. This video has inspired me to get a current version - with the workbook - and jump in. Thank you for this well-timed and much needed reminder!
Hey Hallie. Thanks for leaving this message, it means so much to me. I would completely recommend going through the process. When I originally bought this book (maybe 18 months ago) I was not ready for it. I still may not be ready for it but I'm ready to at least use the basic tools and to endeavour to get through as much of the activities as I can and using it as a guide for when I face difficulties going forward xx
4 mins in… can I tell you thank you for your honesty ! I have been going through the exact same thing. I always told myself I’d never do a PhD.after going through the stress of undergrad thesis and masters thesis. But I applied for one (because my mum heard my lecturer saying it at graduation). I was getting rejected from jobs and actually got accepted to the PhD. But honestly it’s been afew years of just neglecting myself , in terms of hobbies , job , eating healthy and exercising, . I wish I had spent my late twenties travelling and even working a normal job. My background is marine science so I wouldn’t even need a PhD for jobs that are available. Ugh I feel like crying abit too, thanks for the video ❤
Interesting how the universe works … I’ve started doing morning pages (inconsistently) some time ago and have been thinking about something that mirrors the idea of artist’s dates. Then I started seeing this book and now I stumbled upon your video! Thank you for sharing it, I’m not sure that I am ready now to jump on the program and I’m happy that I had a chance to have a glimpse of what’s inside the book. I’ll definitely come back to it when it’s time! Good luck to you on your artist’s journey ❤
@@ararefish_ serendipity is a funny thing isn’t it? The exercise I found very helpful was making a list of activities you enjoyed as a child and trying to see how you can make one of these happen over the next week. I find random art events or workshops that are on that I’d never usually go to
Hey, just came across this and thank you so much for sharing! I'm going to try doing that journaling first thing in the morning!
