Raise your hand if you’ve fallen victim to the comparison trap?? 🙋🏼‍♀️(me) you’re not alone.

It’s so easy especially on social media. It gets us sucked in.
Remember, most are only posting their highlight reel.

If you put your phone down & started creating, what would that look like? Could it be playing with your kids, making art, baking, creating a presentation, writing…?

Share with me in the comments your thoughts on this.

I got my first Leuchtturm1917 USA ahhh!! I went to a lovely store in Philly BODIE & noticed this color immediately. I’ve been seeing many journalers use this so it was on my radar.
I collected some fun junk today so I’m excited to put my first spread in here soon :) I’m planning on printing pics from today & pasting them in here too.

Creating can be how you want it to be. Put your phone down, have fun, & create. It’s good for ya.

❓are you a paste pages together for thickness journaler or no? Why or why not?

Let’s play in our art journal. Some flowy lines, inspired by this landscape 🦦
Materials: Watercolor, brush, paper, & paint markers
Don’t have them? You can use other materials to create!

Why repetition & flowy lines? They can be very soothing, simple, & satisfying (triple S over here lol). These are grounding & my go-to’s when wanting a reset.

I love taking this watercolor set with me, so easy to pack and create. A version of this is in the link in my bio.

I’ve been creating outside a lot this summer & I love it lots. It’s especially nice near the river because I have dragonflies helping me out with the mosquitoes. That’s one thing about the summer that drives me wild, getting so many bites.

🌞Do you prefer creating inside or outside?

Motivational Talks on a Kayak episode 1 ✌🏻

Trying can be scary, yes. But you know what I think is scarier? Settling. Complacency. Lack of growth.

I am not a stranger to fear, worries, anxiety. Many things I do, I do it scared. I do it nervous. Guess what? I’m glad I went for it to try to get a yes, to try to see what would happen.

🎨Bringing art in the convo here: I love art making because that is a lower pressure opportunity to go through fear, perfectionism, uncertainty. Make the mark and see what happens. We can apply that to other aspects of life.

Share your wins below! (A try is a win btw) ⭐️

Create the things. Get out there. I’m rooting for you.

This is me, to me, sometimes 😆this was fun to make and for jokes people, buuuut there is some truth in this ⬇️

When I see a new hobby or think of a new project, it looks all shiny initially. Then I step back and realize… no no no, let’s finish what I have now.
If I see something new and I have the time, sure. Lately though, I’ve been filling up my time with the projects I want to stay focused on. I’ll write the idea down for another day 🙃

✨Anyone else with me on this?
⭐️What’s been helping you stay on track?

Keep going. Keep creating.

Here’s to all those who spent years dreading working on math HW.

I was the one (& still am), wanting to color, play, run around, have fun! Numbers has just not been my thing & I would get soooo frustrated.

During a junk journaling meet up, I started to notice many things that were referencing parts of my childhood.

When I saw these number problem cards, I was immediately struck. Remembering those emotions & sensations. Then I saw the MS Paint post it, the OG virtual art app… An older sibling teaching his younger sibling an equation. The younger twirling a pencil in his hair… The globe just reminded me of school… The stars. Ahhh what it felt like to get a gold star!!!

So I was definitely having a personal moment while creating this spread.
To some this may look silly. That’s okay. For me, it’s of symbolism. Art can hold so so much for us as the creator.

⭐️Does any of this resonate with you?
⭐️To my non mathematicians, what are you up to now?

Gold stars all around!

Here’s a simple way to make art without much thought- doodling with your paint blot! I have other reels on here about paint blots, go get em out!

⭐️Low pressure, simple, creative flow approved.
If you’re using your sketchbook, be sure to put a protectant over the paint so it doesn’t stick together when you close your book.

Would you give this a try? Let me know!
