🎨 Week 2 of The Artist’s Way Challenge: Recovering a Sense of Identity

Hey Readers, 💫

We’re stepping into Week 2 of The Artist’s Way, and wow… this one hits deep. Julia Cameron calls this the week of Recovering a Sense of Identity.

And honestly? It’s about remembering who you actually are beneath the noise — beneath the expectations, the roles, and the stories you’ve outgrown.

This week, I noticed how easy it is to minimize the parts of myself that feel “too much,” “too spiritual,” or “too different.” But The Artist’s Way reminds us that our authentic self-expression is never too much — it’s our gift to the world.

✨ Morning Pages have been revealing so many hidden thoughts — the unspoken ones that shape how I see myself.
✨ Artist Dates are starting to feel like sacred appointments with my soul.
✨ And I’m realizing that every time I honor my creative impulse, I come back home to myself.

If you’re following along, ask yourself this week:

“Where have I been dimming my light to stay comfortable or accepted?”

Because this journey isn’t just about art — it’s about reclaiming your full creative identity.

You are the art. You are the message. You are the masterpiece in motion. 🎨✨
