Cathartic

1.    Words in pictures, create an Art Journal

2.    Color outside the lines

Purge emotions through art.  Draw, scribble, go crazy with color.  Even when we use primitive stick drawings we can show more emotions than with words or use a combination of words and drawings. 

"There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such a thing is an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy."
Mark Twain

Dialogue

1.    Write a conversation with yourself and be honest

2.    Negative feelings-let them out

3.    Anger-Write the word SCREAM in big bold letters in your journal.  You will be amazed how much better you feel!

Most of us already use dialoging every day in our lives without thinking about it. Which one of us doesn’t hold a conversation with ourselves either in our minds or out loud?  Once we give ourselves permission to feel angry, be angry about something or someone we are able to release enormous amounts of emotional tension by journaling, writing down our unspoken conversations.

"Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
