Art Journaling ~ Fortitude Wrap Up

Chris is always the best at wrapping up our art journaling challenge theme!! We are so blessed to have her as a team member. I am so grateful for Cheryl, Chris, and Vicky for the amazing things they bring to the team here!!
Chris introduces this week:
“Can you believe that this is the final week for May Art Journaling? This month’s challenge snuck up on me. Well, what doesn’t kill me makes me stronger or so I like to tell myself. I haven’t died yet so that is my story, and I am sticking to it.
As you went through each of the challenges this month, did you get any sense of impostor syndrome? As in that little voice telling you,”HA! You think you have fortitude, but you don’t.” And then, that little voice laughs tauntingly at you. If you haven’t had that voice in your head, you are lucky but I think it is pretty common to feel that way.
This week, my question for you to think about is this: How do you get that annoying voice to shut up? Can you simply ignore it (and if you can, can you give me your secret on how ya do it)? Do you put on music to get out of that mental loop, do you have A Fight Song? As for me, I talk back to myself, often loudly. Nothing like a pep talk to yourself while your family thinks youlost your mind again.
For this week’s challenge, I would like you to think about what you would say to yourself to boost your confidence and fortitude. It could be something you tell yourself in your own voice, lyrics, or a quote. When you add that to your page, make it bold. Literally! Use a large, dark font or just bold parts of the journaling/word art.
Reinforce that strong, courageous spirit I know is inside of you!”
