Artist Dates I went on - Artist’s Way Journey

I took myself on a few artist’s dates recently to get out of my comfort zone!

If you haven’t heard of the book the Artist’s Way, I highly recommend it! It’s a guided program to help you reconnect with your creativity. It has exercises and activities for you to try and I’ve really liked how it’s helped me reconnect with myself.

I’m not really an artist so this has been fun and inspiring more than anything else.

I’ve been doing my daily morning pages but I’ve also been consistently making time for creativity too! These are some photos from artist moments I’ve had. The book recommends you take yourself on an artist date, and I loved the concept. Trying something unexpected felt like a fun part of the journey and I let myself be bad at things or try stuff just for its sake.
