Created: 2024-01-05
### Four Steps
1. Set an intention and write it down.
2. Breath work to connect to my body until I’m at the point where I feel physical sensations. Imagine what the sensation would look like if it were an image — consider colours, shapes or forms.
3. Draw the image.
4. Answer the self-exploration questions.
### Self-Exploration Questions
1) As I look at my check-in drawing, how does it make me feel?
2) What does this drawing tell me about how I feel emotionally?
3) How do the colours make me feel?
4) Is there anything about my drawing that disturbs me? Write a few sentences about how or why this part disturbs me.
5) What do I like best about my drawing? Write a few sentences about how this part makes me feel.
6) What have I learned from this drawing about what I feel?
7) Are these emotions related to a particular current issue or concern? If so, what is it?
8) Does knowing what I feel about this issue or concern help me deal with it? If so, how?
