 Hey guys, we are here with a another video for my creative year for October and we're going to do another journal page our theme for the month over in my creative year is Communication and our challenge this month is perseverance In my creative year. We have daily inspirational words We also have a monthly theme the words all have some correlation With the monthly theme and then we also have a little bit of a challenge. So I really I kind of pondered these and I was like Okay, what do you do with all of this? hmm, I Really should do something on these two pages that honestly I don't like but I wonder if we can do some Talking to a ka communication with ourselves So for journaling in the background and then create something out of this that we do like So that's the challenge for me this month When I actually turn this a little bit this way because we are going to do some writing I'm going to use some colored mechanical pencils that I have these are Pilot color Eno Pencils they are the lead is the same color as the barrel of the pencil and I think I'm going to do the pink, but I did pull the other two colors. I may switch I Also have some bits of paper and some images. I thought might work and of course my words aren't too far So let's fast-forward through the process and see how far we get I'll be right back You know it started out with as a page. I really wasn't too thrilled with The backgrounds and randomness that I'd already stuck on there, but I kind of like what's on there now So who knew? You know right now as I'm filming all of these commitment videos for 2019 I am getting back into journaling a little bit. I can't say I'm upset about that I do really enjoy our journaling and there's something about expressing Your feelings and your emotions your thoughts and your wanderings on a page if only to yourself That's so very cathartic. So this month going forward I want you to work on your communication skills if with no one else than with yourself Because who is the one person we frequently? Just flat out lie to and don't communicate well with it's not the people around us. It's yourself. You we're all guilty of it Myself included so work on communication with yourself and of course other people this month Work it out in a journal page Play have some fun if it turns out ugly it turns out ugly who cares it doesn't matter just Worry about being expressive to yourself and working out all those thoughts and feelings It's much healthier than keeping them bottled up inside. I do frequently do something called daily pages and They are usually in a plain black notebook. I just use a big crystal pen I just write three pages of whatever is on my mind. I don't stop to punctuate anything I don't stop to make sure my spelling is correct. I don't Put periods anywhere. It's one giant run-on sentence for three pages It's just whatever is on my mind usually working things out when I'm stressed out about something That is also a really great way to communicate to yourself daily pages There's a few videos on YouTube about daily pages and I'd recommend Googling the term and thinking about doing one for yourself It's very cathartic. I would also love to see you all if your members of my creative year Communicate this month in the group how you're taking this month's theme this months were daily words and of course the challenge I would love to see what you do I'd love to see y'all start a conversation with each other and let's help each other out and inspire each other That's what the group's all about If you're not a member of my creative year and you'd like to be or you'd like to follow me on social media Or support the free content here on YouTube or over in the Facebook art groups any of them I have more than one or I'm admin and more than one You can find all of them by clicking on the link tree list of links in the description below and there you'll find my Website my Etsy shop my Amazon affiliate store All my social media all that stuff so click on it my happy mail address is down in the description too And so is a bunch of other information.
