 Hey guys, this is another journal page for journaling through chronic pain, and the joyful chronic. Just reading my notes, sorry. So as of filming this today, tomorrow I am having injections into my knee because I have a torn meniscus along with arthritis and other stuff going on. So to say I'm a little bit nervous is, you know, an understatement probably. Anyway, we are going to journal some of the stress out and we are going to work on a page. I encourage you to try this, whether you're going through chronic physical health issues and pain, mental health issues, your stress out about just life in general. Try arting it out and journaling it out. Besides keeping me busy for me, which really does help a lot, expressing how I'm feeling in a healthy manner is beneficial rather than eating a bunch of chocolate, which isn't really good for me. It tastes good for a minute, and then I feel bad. Anyway, I have this new stencil, which is called Three Faces of Me. I am going to start out my page by stenciling it onto some deli paper. I don't know exactly where this is going to take me, but we'll find out and I'll be right back. Okay, there you go. Keep busy, be brave, be you. Three things I constantly have to remind myself to do when I'm getting anxious and getting stressed out about stuff. Keeping busy is the key word. The busier I am, the less I have to worry about it. Personally, for me, that works. I did tear the faces apart just a little bit so I could move these two closer together so they fit a little better on the page, just because this journal is small. Otherwise, I love the way this turned out. These are just paint chips as you saw. These are Bear, which I think is Home Depot brand, isn't it? They came out with these color stories for 2020. I picked them up when I was there. Not that I need more paint chips because I've got a ton of them here, but I really liked these particular layout of these. Now I'm going to have to pick up another green one and another blue one, but anyway, they're really cool. I took the chips off and I used them on the background. After I did some journaling and writing about what's stressing me out on this page, and then I put my faces over it, and then my words on top, and I love that. Perfect. Quick, simple, easy. Got it out of my system, expressed what I wanted. Give it a try. Any relevant links are going to be in the description below, along with different ways you can support the free content here on YouTube and over in the Facebook art groups, along with my happy mail address and a bunch of other stuff. Check out the video description. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please leave them down below. I will respond. I promise. We have an art play through Chronic Pain Facebook group, and by we I mean my friend Cindy Utter. I help her out with it, but it's not my group. Anyway, it is a great group though. I will leave the link for it in the video description. I recommend if you're suffering through physical or mental chronic pain, chronic issues like that, join the group because we try to help each other out and find different ways we can work through different issues. So, all of that being said, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe, and do the most important thing. Go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it. Maybe do a journal page. That's it. I'll see you later. Bye, guys.
