Art, Heart and Healing Journal - week 1

I first read about this online journaling class on Jan's ArtyATC Journey
The website is Willowing & Friends
and the class is called Art, Heart and Healing
Jan's first week's pages are great and she's so full of good things to say
... I thought I'd give it a go



The first week deals with your inner critic.
The point is to translate your inner critic's really bad and tacky way of communicating to you 
- mostly by put downs and abuse -
into what your inner critic might be really trying to say.
Usually it's going to be something protective and self-preservationist
... but not necessarily with the best advice 
... mostly it will be advice like: "QUIT!!"
So that's where you have to step in and weed out the good from the bad.
It was a really fun exercise ....
the class is free and Tammy is a great teacher.
Maybe I'll see you over there :)

Lovely, I signed up for the class, but had trouble downloading the video. I do love what you did, though, and this is great advice.

sounds wonderful -- maybe I'll go over and check it out!

And I love those two pages that you've shown...

you immediately prompted me to think of my own inner critic, the one that says, don't even bother, you can't do it anyway. sometimes i think my procrastination is not that, it is fear.
