Day 10/14

Reframe with an affirmation

A phrase from "Invictus", a short poem by William Ernest Henley

/.../

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Day 3/14

Respond to your day

Be moderate / Žinok saiką

Trying to find the exact amount of things I need, not more, not less;

trying to find out when to stop drawing a piece, not to overdraw, overthink, overdo.

Day 1/14

Name a feeling

So, I started with trying to locate the tension I was feeling in my body: my throat, shoulders, hips. Tried to describe both in words and in visuals what these tensions might look like. When all were out there on paper, I felt the need to take care of these tensions, so they could dissipate. Feeling safe was the keyword this time. Reminding myself that I'm safe and in a safe place here and now helps me to relax. It's very soothing message for me.

p.s. I'm writing and thinking both in English, Lithuanian and French, so my texts are going to be in all the languages I know and understand. They may sound a little different though.
