The Quarantine Chronicles: Day 27

Hello, Dear One.

So glad you are here.

How are you holding up?

I know it's tough out there. All around the world the news is really extreme and pretty scary.

I know, for me, I'm experiencing a bit of a roller coaster ride throughout each day so if you are too... just know, you are not alone.

This time is truly a time of testing for all of us. It is a call of awakening and it's demanding us to make decisions about what we believe, and calling us to bring out all the tools we have in our tool belts that help us choose faith and peace and love, even joy, in the face of fear.

So I want to share as many tools as I have with you here, as I continue to learn and use them.

During times in my life when I have felt either burned out or depressed, I also realize that it has been hard for me to identify the things that really bring me enjoyment. Knowing what these things are though, and being consistent in providing your inner artist child with things that inspire and delight, is essential when we want to thrive in our creativity, as well as in day to day life.

So I find it helpful to keep a running list.

Today I want you to list the following:

15 things that I enjoy__________________

Things you enjoy doing or experiencing...writing, a bubble bath, going on walks, etc.

And 15 simple pleasures under $20 that would give me a little thrill__________________

This could be an ice cream cone, a coloring book, flowers, a game...whatever you fancy.

Pick a couple things off of the list and treat yourself today. Nurture your inner artist self with some things that nurture and inspire and delight you. Care for your little artist child as you would your own child.

There is so much love for you here,

JennyRebecca

P.S. I would LOVE to read, hear, see and experience the things you are creating during this time and as a result of some of these creativity prompts! So please feel free to share them personally with me or with the Artists Rising Community!

P.P.S. Invite a friend to get in on these Quarantine Chronicles Prompts! Do them together and create an even larger support connection as you are going through this time. And if you haven't joined the private Facebook Group yet, do it! Let's connect to each other in as many ways as we can!...Maybe that will be the biggest change we create as a result of this entire global situation? This is my prayer anyhow. Xxo
