Pencil Case Prompts: Ever Thought of Writing a Book?

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

If you ever wrote a book what would that book be about? (If you already wrote a book, do you want to write another one?)
-What genre would the book be in?
– Are there characters in your book? Who would the main character be?
-Would your book have a lesson?
Let me know in the comments below or feel free to journal about this prompt!
If I ever wrote a book it would be nonfiction and a mixture of my creative and reflective writing.

I am Ready to Let Go: An Affirmation

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

The Process of Letting Go

  • What do you want to let go of?
  • What are you leaving behind?
  • How can you make space within yourself to feel peace and goodness?
  • How do you want to feel?

Affirm that you are ready to let go and move on to make the space within yourself for what you deserve.

My Reflection

I am letting go of:

  • Perfectionism
  • Hopelessness
  • Anxiety
  • What ifs and whys.
  • Toxic bonds
  • Attachments
  • Guilt
  • Regret
  • Shame
  • Rejection
  • Failed relationships
  • Confusion

I now welcome and affirm that I am deserving of good things. I leave behind ignorance, mistakes, and regret. I am ready for new beginnings.

Pencil Case Prompts: What will you NOT do this week?

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

Sometimes prioritizing self-care means not engaging, participating, encouraging, or taking part in something. What will you not be doing this week?
Let me know in the comments below!

For me, I will not:

1. Encourage negative thoughts.
2. Procrastinate in finishing my certification.
3. Continue to speak down on myself.
4. Push myself when I feel exhausted and need a break.

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

“When you have a conversation in your mind about yourself, how does the conversation go? What words do you use? How do those words and ideas make you feel? Why did you choose those words?”

NAMI-NYC Virtual Expressive Arts Workshop Event: Leaves

Posted on by SparklyWarTanks

So very excited to announce the NAMI-NYC Expressive Arts workshop event I will be hosting at the end of the month! This event will be via Zoom and on the NAMI-NYC website. You can find the link here. Click the Expressive Arts Zoom link for October 31st, 2020.

If you have any questions or concerns feel free email me or leave a comment. The time of the event is in Eastern Standard Time.

**I will share any updates or changes and keep everyone posted.

Here are some details for the event:

Title
Leaves
Description
“Leaves” is a creative and fun event focused on reflecting on ourselves and the year we are moving past. Starting with an ice breaker, we will think about a lesson we’ve learned this year and what we are grateful for. The main activity will then be to draw and create a pile of leaves. On each leaf, we will write either something we want to let go of or something we are looking forward to. Lastly, we will close by sharing our works of art!
Materials
Paper, writing utensils (pen, pencil, markers, or crayons).
Hope to see you there!
