Day 2: Shapes - A doodle a day keeps your mind at bay.
Let’s be real here, the reason we feel called to doodle is because doodling is a tool to clear our mind.
When the pen glides on the paper your thoughts and emotions have a place to land.
Processing stress, grief or pain that we experience in life can be challenging to put into worlds.
That’s where LINES & SHAPES come in,
As the alphabet to express our soul.
Our emotions aren’t logical.
We can put letters and English words to describe what our heart is experiencing.
Cue LINES & SHAPES
No rules, no boundaries. Anything can happen in a doodle.
That’s why it’s so important for us to respect this daily practice.
Because it’s just just about “becoming an artist”
It’s about becoming YOUR TRUEST SELF.
Doodling is the tool that helps us get closer to our emotions. Closer to our own voice, our own heart.
When you sit in silence to doodle, you begin to unlock a whole new world within yourself.
Your assignment today:
Fill your post it note with shapes
Organic shapes - free flowing, think flowers and leaves and squiggles.
Geometric shapes - any shape that has a name, triangle, rectangle, circle.
While your hands are doodling shapes, notice your thoughts.
Are you rushing through this to “just get it done”
Or are you present with the pen and paper in front of you?
Keep doodling & retracing your shapes until your mind feels completely relaxed.
Those first few shapes, your thoughts might have been racing.
The whole goal is to SLOW DOWN YOUR THOUGHTS.
When you’re don’t with your doodle, take a moment to reflect in writing with a pen and paper what thoughts you can’t stop thinking about. Let yourself process out loud to yourself on the page. Write for as long as you need.
Extra challenge:
Create a new Instagram account to act as a personal growth journal.
No followers, no friends. Just you.
Peacefully documenting your personal growth each day.
I want to challenge you to post a picture of your daily doodle.
Even if it’s “ugly”
Get in the habit of not judging your own work.
And simply enjoying the process of creating.
One day you might school all the way back to that first post and you’ll remember how far you’ve come.
