REMEMBER YOUR INNER CHILD/ARTIST. 🩷
Let me tell you a story of how art opened my heART as it helped me heal from the inside out.
The year was 2016.
I found myself in a very excruciating painful period of my life. For those who might know me, in the past I was always known to do, do, do. And always on the go. I never let any opportunity pass me by especially when it comes to curiosity, adventure and fun.
However, I found myself working for something I didn’t want or being in a group of people who are always complaining, feeling like victims of their own choices. And I was unconsciously doing the same thing I didn’t like.
There is a saying that you are the average of the 5 people you surround yourself with.
So what’s a girl to do?
Time’s up.
I had to stop running and face my own fears.
I made a conscious decision to do the work.
Inside out.
I started from the root cause of the problem.
I remember my coach telling me that I’m stubborn. She’s freakin’ right. I was. I still have it more so when I’m passionate about what I’m doing.
Or what I love.
Yes. Some of them doesn’t make sense. Who cares? 😁
If you’re like me, you’re a multi-passionate woman in your midlife who is stubborn like a mule, passionate about the things that matter, makes you feel alive, happy, at peace and good for your nervous system.
You either want to do it with gusto or not.
I was in denial for so long that I ignored the calling within. There was my inner child whispering to pay attention to the symptoms of my physical health. Still. I didn’t listen to the whisper.
Up until, what I kept ignoring can’t be ignored.
No more.
Pretending that I was okay. Or ignoring the pain by being distracted. Or numbing.
Your body will shutdown or scream in pain if you don’t pay attention to your body.
What you don’t heal, you feel aka physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual pain.
What you feel will heal you inside out.
Let’s go back to 2016, I was in bed crying in pain, screaming my guts out, tired as usual, frustrated because I don’t know what’s going on. In order to distract me from intrusive thoughts of dying, worry, fear and anger, I turned on Netflix and started looking for something to watch. Let’s call this a good distraction. I was in pain for Pete’s sake.
And voila!
What caught my eye was Bob Ross, a landscape artist with a very calming voice. The show was called The Joy of Painting Series and I was immediately hooked.
Watching him over and over again made me think, feel and do what he’s trying to say. His words breathe into my soul a little confidence that I can do it too.
That I am an artist and I can paint.
So I followed his advice and bought all the art materials the next day.
And started painting like no other.
I was amazed at how art helped me heal. I even had to stop taking my painkillers
Yay! 😊
It opened my heART to the magic that’s within and around me.
My chronic pain started to go away.
Remember, I always had this level 10 of excruciating pain every time I have my period. And I was losing a lot of blood.
I was severely anemic and didn’t know it.
That’s how I ignored my inner child’s desire to be healed.
Not only did I abandoned my inner child. I also betrayed her. Every time I don’t call my doctor or do my own research about my symptoms.
Ouch!
The whispers turned into a loud noise that I couldn’t ignore anymore.
That wasn’t fun.
Because.
My poor choices brought me to the EMERGENCY ROOM a bunch of times.
So when I allowed curiosity to take over and I started painting my pain went away. Literally.
Because.
I was no longer running away from feeling pain, shame, fear, doubt, guilt, the whole nine yards.
Yes.
I’ve buried so many difficult emotions that was labeled as “negative or bad” when I was a child. I believed the lies for years.
Up until I started getting curious and looked within.
Emotions aren’t bad.
It’s a guide to what’s going on inside.
The physical body will manifest whatever you ignored or run away from.
Because.
The body always keep the score.
I feel you.
This is why I’m passionate about telling everyone what I’ve discovered about the healing power of art.
When you reconnect with your inner child and use art to dive deep into your heART, your world is going to change. REMEMBER HER. She’s still with you even if you’re 45, 55, 60, 85, etc. She holds the key to your heART.
Your Queendom.
It changed mine.
For the better.
Magical things started to happen.
Last Saturday I was able to do what my heART and soul asked me to do.
To share what I discovered after reconnecting with my inner child.
Making art pushed everyone to get out of their comfort zones.
Even if there was resistance at first.
I provided a safe place for every woman/girl/sister can express who they are without judgment, filtering themselves and/or comparison.
It was fun AF and it brought me so much joy to hear and see everyone expressing themselves in a way that’s true to themselves.
That’s when I have an AHA moment.
Doing it and feeling excited to do it again.
The whole experience was magical.
It made me feel good, excited, happy, grateful and proud of my inner child to finally let her shine from within.
FREEDOM!
Even when you don’t know what/how to paint.
Or you don’t believe that you are an artist.
✅ It brought expansion and creativity.
✅ It was fun.
✅ Everyone was happy to reconnect with their inner child.
✅ Everyone was able to express themselves without me telling them what to do. They let me guide them. Not push them to do this or do that. 😊
✅ They brought home a new piece of art that will remind them to reconnect/REMEMBER their inner child.
