Here are some great takeaways from this episode:
- Recognize that your self-expression is inherently creative, whether you call yourself an artist or not.
- Being creative does not mean that you can draw well. You can be creative through many things that you do, in how you do them and why you do them.
- Journaling can be used as a form of self-expression, and it can include art with it or it can be just words.
- Journaling is a creative practice through which you use a combination of writing, painting, and collage, in a way that connects you to your inner wisdom, clarity, and guidance.
- Anyone who feels they are not creative can still recover their creative self if they take the journey back to the essence of who they are.
- In a pilgrimage it can be a solitary thing, but there is room for others to go on all of it or some of it with you.
- Self-expression is valuable because of the process. The outcome is not what matters.
- Journaling is a vehicle for all you know and an oracle for all you have yet to know.
