Journeys of the Heart
From Simple Dot to Confident Artist
Have you ever had to overcome your own resistance to trying something new? Sometimes the limitations we impose on ourselves - self-talk about not being good enough or our fears of failing or being embarrassed - prevent us from participating fully in life. In the picture book, “The Dot,” by Peter H. Reynolds, a child (with the encouragement of a teacher) finds the confidence to create art.
Heart Tip
What is preventing you from pursuing something new? Take a moment to reflect: Is there something new you’ve been wanting or needing to do? What obstacles are getting in the way? Can you remember a time when you took on a challenge and persevered? Try to channel the confidence and commitment you’ve already demonstrated to empower you to move forward now.
