Dawn's October Acronym

0 Comments

Read Now
 
It's time for more Acronym fun, isn't it? I shared my September Acronym late in the month (better late than never, right?) so I'm back at it (albeit, late again...sometimes it take me over a week to remember we're in a new month!) with October's rendition, all with the purpose of initiating more JOY and Creativity in our daily lives.

Here is the acronym for October:
Ongoing
Creativity
Takes
Over
Bringing
Each
Restoration


Journaling Prompt:
Make a list of the "creative" activities you have engaged in recently, wether in the last few days, weeks, or month. Note which activity you recall most clearly and the positive impact it had on your well being, bringing "restoration." Record it in detail.

Art Journaling Prompt:
Create a spread that shows what restoration or "rest" means to you and honor your creative space to reflect that essence. 

Doodle Prompt:
Using your favorite doodle pen or other implement, create a doodle that focuses on the word "Restoration." and reflect on what that means to you. You may want to put the doodle in a frame to remind you of how your creativity enhances your well being.

Refresh Daily: Acronym for September

0 Comments

Read Now
 
I've been having some fun coming up with acronyms for the months of the year. I find them to be insightful into what really matters to me. Today I'm excited to share with you my new Acronym for September here at Refresh Daily. 

Staying
Ever 
Present
To 
Every 
Moment
Brings
Each
Rest


The more often we take moments to be really Present, the more rest we will create for ourselves (instead of worry and fear playing games with our thoughts!), and perhaps, activate more daily JOY in our lives. 

Journaling Prompt:
What does the word Rest mean to you right now? What does it look like? What are three things you can do to implement being more present and restful in your days. 

Art Journaling Prompt:
Create a spread that really shows REST both with color, image, text or whatever feels the most restful to you. Be very aware of the moments as you create this spread, honoring where you need rest in your body, mind, heart, soul. 

Doodle Prompt:
Create a doodle with the word Rest or Present and incorporate what they mean to you in the way you draw your letters.

Your August Acronym

As we start a new month, the month of August, I have a new acronym to share with you to help initiate more JOY in your life. 

Always
Understand
Gratitude
Underlies
Simple 
Trust 

I share with you in the video what this essentially means to me: Knowing that the Universe has our back, when we start with gratitude, we can open ourselves to greater trust in what the days will hold. 

Journaling Prompt:
How can you make gratitude a regular underlying vibe and mindset in your daily life? What does self trust and trust in the Universe look and feel like to you?  

Art Journal Prompt: 
Use your art journal spread as a gratitude initiator through image, color and make making to express your deepest thanks for what you have right now. 

Doodle Prompt:
Use Trust as your doodle prompt and see what marks you can make that feel good to you right now.

0 Comments

Read Now
 
I have a lot of fun with Acronyms! I created one for the Month of May in an earlier post, and now I've created a new one for July. Above you will see the video I posted on IG to share my acronym, plus I've included it below in text format so you can use it as a journaling prompt or simply a reminder to initiate more JOY. 

Here's my Acronym for JULY:
JOY
UNEARTHED
LIFTS 
YOU


See what you can do with this acronym! You can get creative in your journal, art journal, or sketchbook and/or create a doodle for it! Just have fun reminding yourself to initiate more JOY on a daily basis. 

How can you unearth more JOY today? This Month? All summer? 

May JOY Find You in the Most Unexpected Places.
