I kept circling back to the same thought on my second week, too: that I am not being seen. I mean, not the way I wanted to be seen before and with my alteregos I created for myself to protect me and my inner child, but the real me.
And I realized a lot of returning to the artist within is just becoming the same person I was when I was a child, before the adults and the world told me who I should be. Loved reading your notes and reflections.
100% agree with you, Ïmola. “I realized a lot of returning to the artist within is just becoming the same person I was when I was a child, before the adults and the world told me who I should be.” yes, exactly my experience too, tbh. thank you for commenting. i love feeling like we are walking our The Artist’s Way paths together! :)
"identity wasn’t missing. it was underground, waiting for better weather" YES. I love the way you write your field notes, honestly these inspire me every time -- you insights are just 💯
Oh shooooot — I've been thinking about starting The Artist's Way for 5ever and now I'm feeling real inspired to do so, especially after seeing you connect it to IFS
this comment makes me soooo happy. definitely do it, i highly recommend the book! it’s even more creatively inspiring when you filter what doesn’t resonate of the authors language into what does resonate for you!!
it’s my third time working through the 12 week journey! i’ve read the book a million times and been doing morning pages for many years. HIGHLY recommend the book! :)
I think they represent something to do with my ‘true self’. I had a dream a while ago where I was feeding deer junk food and I interpreted it as something like “you're not looking after your truest self”
I've started noticing deer a lot more over the past few years and whenever I see one I'm so happy and it’s like a little reminder “remember to connect to your self!”
