In order to experience something new, we need to become familiar with the thoughts and feelings in our minds and guide them to be consistent with the life we want to live. When we shift our thoughts and self-talk, our approach to life changes. Everything and everyone around us will be touched by that shift, and we will have the opportunity for a new experience as a result.

Use these weekly Affirmations and Tips to try out a new thought or approach. Let me know how it works for you. I’d love to hear from you!  

 

Personality 

I am wonderful!

I support myself in being myself. I do not have to emulate, feel jealous of, or in any way compare myself to someone else. I seek to freely express myself from a place of self-love. From this place, I can be truly funny, fun, inspired, and loving. I like myself. So today, I make a commitment to be myself!

  

 

Tip: When we are guarded or self-conscious, we may stagnate our relationships. For communication to flow freely, we need to commit to being ourselves. Take a moment to reflect on your inhibitions about being your full self. Did they come from a critical or punishing parent? Or perhaps you had a negative junior high or high school experience. Proclaim the truth that you no longer need to please a parent or impress insecure teenagers. You are free, and the time is now to be your true self.

Growth Gifts Creative Art Therapy Workshop

9 AM – 4 PM

$85.00 per person. Art supplies and a light lunch provided.

Did You Experience a Challenging Change or a Loss in 2019?
Learn to Utilize Difficulties for Self-Development

In any given year, many of us will face challenges — the loss of a job, divorce, death, illness or diagnosis, interpersonal conflict, a rebellious or troubled child, or children leaving for college. It's not uncommon to isolate during times of trauma and difficulty. Research tells us that being able to process and have our story witnessed is critically important for healing and growth.

Join us for a Creative Arts Therapy Workshop in the new year to honor your growth gifts of 2019.

  • Make art with supportive others.
  • Enjoy a safe place to reflect on your challenges in 2019 through both two-dimensional and three-dimensional art-making. Although sharing is not required, you will have the chance to process your experience.
  • Learn how to process changes and difficulties through the lens of appreciation for the inner strength, support system, spiritual guidance, and inspiration that allowed you to get through.
  • Solidify your learning and growth from your experience and feel sturdier as you enter 2020.

Honor the gifts of your growth. We look forward to seeing you in the new year!
