Let's Get Motivated!

Image
  When things go wrong with your plans and your world tilts a little, hang on! How would you do that? How do you manage when things seem to go crazy and beyond your control? Write about it in your journal or doodle about it. If you are drowning, float until you can swim again. Whatever you do, don't sink. Make a list in your journal on how to float, doodle about it or do both. If you can't keep up with things, take a breather, so you won't be rushed into making mistakes.  Write or doodle about it in your journal. When you can't do anything more, just try being present.  Write a list of actions you can take (practical ones), even if they are small, to be present. If you feel inspired, doodle around the page as a frame. You can turn your day around with just your attitude! Write in your journal about a day that you were able to turn around by changing your mentality about what's going on. Doodle between the lines or the paragraphs of your journaling. Think of what...

Harmony's Song: The Tale of the Resilient Oak and the Lively Bird

Image
  (A fable about loneliness and one of its surprising cures) In the heart of a quiet forest stood an old oak tree, its gnarled branches reaching out like ancient arms toward the sky. Once a magnificent tree, it had weathered countless storms and witnessed the passing of generations. But as time marched on, the world around it changed, and the old oak found itself forgotten and abandoned, its once vibrant leaves faded, and its branches empty of life One spring morning, a young bird named Lyra fluttered into the forest. She was a brilliant blue with feathers that glimmered like the sky at sunrise. The forest was alive with the sounds of her chirping and the wind whistling through the trees.

Lyra's melodic songs echoed through the forest, bringing a spark of life to the forgotten tree. The other anim...
