Sometimes self-care can seem like one more thing that we need to add to our to-do list. You might think it costs a lot of money or that it takes too much time, but it simply means taking care of yourself through small acts of kindness. And for us at Bloom True t his means creative acts of kindness.

We’re beginning something new here today, and that is to offer a biweekly dose of inspiration, encouragement, and nurturing for your own creative self-care by sharing a journal prompt for you to support your own creative self-care.

Our first journal prompt begins with taking a deep breath.

Close your eyes, inhale, exhale. Imagine a color that represents your emotions today then gather your favorite art supplies and create something using only the color of your emotion. You can use a variety of media, including paint, acrylic or watercolor, or both, pencils, markers, stencils, and even bits of collage paper.

Remember, this is an experience, a journey, and a process. And your objective, should you want one is to merely identify, attune with, and creatively express & befriend and emotion that you’re feeling.

Share your creation and tag us @Bloom_true with the hashtag #createandgrow so that we can feature your work on our Instagram page and in our Pinterest account.

If you’re feeling a touch of yellow, pink and orange today, you might enjoy our “courage” art journaling kit to kickstart your creative process. This digital downloadable kit includes a cover, journal, pages and prompts along with a YouTube video where I guide you in stitching together and creating your own Courage art journal.
