Life is all about emotions.

How you feel determines what you do.

What you do determines your results or lack of results.

Here's the Problem.

We're not taught to feel emotions.

Socialization teaches how to escape emotions, especially the uncomfortable ones.

Life is all about emotions.

How you feel determines what you do.

What you do determines your results or lack of results.

Here's the Problem.

We're not taught to feel emotions.

Socialization teaches how to escape emotions, especially the uncomfortable ones.

Emotions are valuable INFORMATION.

 

People treat most emotions like kryptonite.

 

Which results in never using emotions as the SUPERPOWER they are.

Creating the results you want begins with emotional awareness.

 

Unfortunately, we aren't given a practical, effective emotional education in our modern world.

 

This is why most are not living life of fulfillment with the experiences, growth and contribution they want.

Our Current Emotional Education.

We're socialized to do 4 main things with emotions:

1. RESIST.

resist emotions

People confuse resisting with feeling.

Resisting is like holding the door shut with all your strength.

Resisting emotion is the reason you feel exhausted much of the time.

2. REACT.

img_react

When you react by yelling, screaming, becoming defensive (like a porcupine) or crying, it may seem like feeling, but it's not.

Feeling doesn't look like acting in a dramatic play.

3. AVOID.

avoid emotion

Society has made avoiding feelings easy and socially acceptable.

The main numbing behaviors are overeating, overdrinking, overscrolling, overworking and isolating.

4. PRETEND.

pretending

You're taught that being happy is the goal of life.

Therefore, negative emotions mean either something has gone terribly wrong or there's something wrong with you.

 

You hide your emotions behind pretty masks in order to fit in, pretend you're "normal" and make others comfortable.

This illusion has grown dramatically due to the rise of social media.

Emotional Awareness is a SKILL you can learn to create the life you want.

Why simple doodles are SO effective.

Creativity and play is INCREDIBLY effective at creating lasting change.

Doodles allow you to observe your thoughts, emotions, behaviors and how they all contribute to creating your results.

Doodles bring extraordinary efficiency, mindfulness, gentleness and compassion to doing deep inner work.

"I can't believe how healing it has been. I know how to deal with everybody else's emotions, this was so freeing." ~ Cathy Busam, therapist

"Thank you so very much for this course. This has been incredibly helpful for me. The doodling made everything more palpable and malleable." ~ Beth Seebach

"I've been raving about it, this solidified for me when we put something on paper, we can observe it." ~ Lisa Vazquez, art therapist

"I didn't realize how much putting my emotions on paper would help, I'm not a big drawer or artist." ~ Julene McGregor

"This is a fabulous way to get in touch with your emotions. I've had trouble visualizing or finding emotions in my body. To put it on a page, to draw or use color has been amazing to see it and identify it." ~ Anne Poirier

"The drawings were so simple and I could actually feel while drawing and painting. Being able to craft our emotions and our responses made it such a safe place." ~ Stacy Brookman

It's not your fault.

Let's look at how this unintentional emotional education continues through the generations...

 

"Stop crying. You're too sensitive."

too sensitive

You learn it's not OK to feel, trust or express your true emotions.

sketch-mark-right

"SHHH! Talking about money is rude. You should know better than that!"

money shame

You learn to suppress honest conversations about things like a convenient tool for exchanging value and many, many, many other topics.

sketch-mark-right

"You hurt Billy's feelings. You need to apologize  now for hurting his feelings."

IMG_Billy-apology

You  learn that you're responsible for other people's emotions.

sketch-mark-right

"Don't be shy! Aunt Helen wants a kiss."

IMG_Aunt3

You learn that other people's wants are more important than your own.

sketch-mark-right

Something bad happened? "Let's get you ice cream so you'll feel better."

IMG_angry-cone

You learn to use false pleasures to avoid feeling negative emotion.

sketch-mark-right

Something good happened? "Let's get you ice cream to celebrate!"

img_happy-cone

You learn that feeling positive emotion isn't enough on it's own.

sketch-mark-right

"Of course you should say 'yes'! You want them to think you're a nice person, right?"

IMG_juggle-final

You learn to people please instead of telling the truth.

sketch-mark-right

You bring this socialized emotional mismanagement into adulthood.

Emotional mismanagement KILLS:

  • relationships
  • health
  • self-esteem
  • career / business
  • dreams / purpose
  • creativity - art, dance, photography, writing dreams
  • resilience while going through hard times
  • EVERYTHING you want

Current emotional education disconnects you from your natural, healthy emotional guidance.

Who is this Workshop for?

This series was created for ages 18 and over. In the series, we discuss emotions in the context of everyday life and small "t" traumas.

Be aware this work is about personal development work VS. just doodling and painting.
I don't want people to misunderstand that and enroll a child in what looks like fun creativity and then find out we DO discuss all kind of emotions like grief, anger, and sadness in addition to peace and joy.
Many people have enrolled with their children or nieces and nephews. I think that's SUCH a beautiful thing. I wish I'd had this information when I was a tween or teen!
So you know before enrolling, I talk about my infertility story that led me to create this method of healing through simple creativity.

FAQ

Doodle Your Emotions is a Workshop that gives people an overview and taste of Heartwork Journaling.

Heartwork Journaling is a blend of life coaching tools, cognitive-behavioral concepts, empowering questioning, mindfulness and creativity.

We use the power of questions (journal prompts) to uncover limiting beliefs and decide how we want to think about ourselves and our world, in an empowering way.

Many students use it in conjunction with therapy but it is not therapy. 

Just like you brush your teeth on a daily basis for good dental hygiene, Heartwork Journaling is like brushing your brain and heart for good everyday mental and emotional hygiene.
