You made it to the last day! Yeahhhh!
Thank you so much for showing up every day.
I hope that you now understand better how you talk to yourself and what inspires you and motivates you!
You know that self-compassion is the way forward so you can really embrace yourself and be the true artist you want to be, with no fears and no obstacles holding you back.
Use it every day.
What’s the difference between day 1 and now? So let’s spend the next 5 minutes and see how you transformed.
And before you go, I’d love to know how you found this journaling challenge by answering this quick survey.

What mantra can support you with your creativity?
Brainstorm for 5 minutes, and then pick up what works best for you right now. It can be one sentence, it can be a word.

Let’s continue to build some mindful tools and let’s talk about support. There is this idea that artists need to be alone and suffer.
It’s completely wrong.
How could a support group empower you?
I have a membership called the FAM. We meet every week to chat about our week, support each other and make sure we keep going no matter what. If you’re interested, you can join for a discounted price by using the coupon JOURNALING (valid for the next 48 hours).
We’re so close to the end of this challenge! Keep doing your amazing work and I’ll see you tomorrow!

I love the prompt today. I mean, I love all of them, but I think this one is really fun.
This will help you when you had a bad day, arguments, or you made a mistake and you feel bad about it.

Reframing starts when we realise how we talk to ourselves, and we realise how harsh we are, and how we would never say that to someone else.
You need to be kind to yourself when you feel vulnerable, when you face an obstacle or when you hear criticism...
So let’s continue today.
How can self-compassion support you?

Woohoo! Last week of this challenge! Well done!
So now let’s reframe the little voice.
I really like the prompt today. It’s a high impact exercise that will help you discover your inner mentor. You will need your notes from the previous days.
Are you excited? 😊 You should be!

Welcome back! We have one more day to get to know your inner critic before we move on to the last part of this challenge.
Your inner critic will show up when you feel out of your comfort zone, when you doubt yourself, and/or when you feel vulnerable. Today, let's see how your inner critic is holding you back.
Keep doing this amazing work! Keep showing up!

We’re exploring our inner critic this week and see where it comes from and why some things impact you.
Although it’s always nice to receive compliments and positive feedback, you need to be your number one fan. You need that inner mentor in your head, so you have this really nice supportive voice encouraging you to be yourself and be bold.
And that’s what we’re going to do until the end of this challenge.

We’re halfway through!
What did you discover yesterday? Clarifying what you remember is the first reframing step, and that’s how you stop that thought/memory from holding you back.
It’s a good one today: Why do we care about people’s opinions? Let's dive in!

Everyone’s opinion is subjective, even if it’s someone that you really admire. One person, one opinion amongst many.
And yet, criticism and rejection can have a huge impact!

Today’s prompt is a bit trickier. That’s why I waited a few days before asking you that question, but it’s so important.
We’re going to think about your childhood because most of our limiting beliefs and most of that inner critic comes from your childhood.
It’s normal if you feel emotional today, so be kind to yourself. And remember that clarifying and understanding what you heard while growing up will help you grasp that inner critic and reframe it.

Week 2! It’s not too late to start!
I believe our inner critic is a projection of our definition of success.
The guilt that you are not there yet triggers that little voice in your head.
But are YOU happy with that definition of success?

Today, I demo how I use my inner mentor to break down those fears on my YouTube channel and on my podcast.
I think it’s worth listening to, and soon you will be able to do that too!
For today, let’s explore where you’re at right now in your life with your creativity, your uniqueness, your fears, and your dreams!

What are you scared of?
I think our inner critic is scared. It wants to prevent us from being in the unknown, as you will be out of control, and you could get hurt.
By understanding what scares you, you will be able to reassure your inner critic and reframe it. Join the challenge for extra support.
Let's explore our fears together!
