Proud
How do we feel proud? What do we feel proud about? How do we express this feeling or idea? I am now in feelings that seem to express themselves figuratively. Usually I try to break out of this a bit but the past two weeks have felt this way, and I am learning to trust my instincts and to let myself go where I need to go in the moment. Drawing proud made me think of what I was proud of, and that seemed to change from the beginning to the end.
The drawings go in order, Days 1-5. Click on the first drawing and you can click through them all.
Day 1. Proud is when you puff up your chest, you feel good about who you present to the outside world.
Day 2: Proud is being a mother, of your kids and the relationship that you have with them.
Day 3: Proud is the list of experiences you have in your life, and looking back on what you have accomplished.
Day 4: Proud is the ease you feel more and more at being your true self and showing up that way in the world.
Day 5: Proud is a bursting open of your heart, when you can see your own spark, your own contribution to the world.
This is the Draw Your Feelings Project.
