As a friendly reminder, Inner Canvas Counseling is closed this week for attendance at the 56th Annual American Art Therapy Conference in Portland, OR. Looking forward to bringing back increased knowledge and new information for this very meaningful work! 💕

In one of my favorite TED talks, Ingrid Fetell Lee shares her work in discovering some of the tangible roots of joy and identifies how we can all find it and create it. She explains that some things seem to create universal joy, and she does a beautiful job of explaining how we can incorporate joy into our daily lives. She says, “joy is an intense, momentary experience of positive emotion” and “the physical world can be a powerful resource in creating happier, healthier lives”.

Here are some of the images from Inner Canvas Counseling that bring me joy. What brings you joy?
Look around your day-to-day environments for “aesthetics of joy”: patterns of roundness, pops of color, symmetrical shapes, a sense of abundance and multiplicity, lightness… where is joy hiding for you and where can you incorporate more joy?

It’s the 1st day of February, the month of 🥰LOVE🥰, and some of the artwork at Inner Canvas is already focusing on the important topic of self-love as it relates to our emotional wellbeing. Take a look at these incredible self-love goals:

❤️“I intend to do more things that make me forget to check my phone”
🧡“Practice kind words in conversation with myself”
💛“I am going to smile when I look in the mirror”
💚“Share my true feelings and ask for what I need”
💙 “I am finally going to organize my desk”
💜“Plan a get-together with a good friend”
🩷“Meditate, stretch, and use my journal”

We hope it is a month of self-love for you too!

I’ll just put this nice reminder here. 🩷

You don’t ever have to apologize for feeling sad.
You aren’t being too sensitive.
You aren’t imagining things or being overdramatic.
You’re being true to yourself by honoring your emotions, and that is never something you have to feel ashamed of.
Whether you have a need that isn’t being met, an old wound that’s been reopened, a person in your life who is making you feel small, a painful memory of something from the past, or an emptiness from the loss of someone you care about—there is always something underlying our sadness, and whatever it is, it’s important and valid.
Whatever it is, it deserves to be expressed and felt .
