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!
You can choose to do a single page, double page, tag, TN each week, or use a divided template—one part for each week. If you don’t have the Divided Template and would like to have it, you can get it here at Dropbox. Thank you to Ona @wombat146 for providing the template choices for us! If you use the template, we would love it if you post incrementally: post one done in the first week, post an image of the two together on the second, and so on until the finished page in the fourth week.
Again—the template is NEVER a requirement, just something fun and different if you want to use it.
