Create Some Art Using Affirmations

An affirmation is a declaration that something is true. You are important. What you stand for is amazing. Your truth and your insight is fabulous. So share it!

Let your truth shine through in your creativity. Be your own brand, be your own message. Shout, 'I am me' and show you off to the world. Being brave and totally expressing who you are makes it all work. When we desperately try to be how others expect us to dress or buy into what others say is 'cool' it just doesn't work. How many arseholes do you see in town that are walking talking gimmicks of our fast food, fast fashion, fast fucking nation.

Become your affirmation from the inside out. It is not only about words, your statement represents your whole being. If you are a geek, be an amazing one, own it. If you are a lover of tweed, cover your bloody walls in it. It's not just with fashion that you can make your statement. Let your affirmations be your art.

TASK

You can use your affirmations to create positive verbal statements that give you power when you read them and remind you of your truth. Create your own text on ribbon and sew it to your favorite shirt or the inside of your pants. Create posters, create your own badge, make it permanent with a Tattoo, and write on your walls, write on other people's walls (just don't get caught). Your art can be whatever you want it to be: music, literature, film, sculpture. paintings any action you take to express your positive emotions and gain self-mastery. Grab some paper; use your body as a canvas bang on a tin can drum. Whatever you can do right now just do it. Think of something you want to declare and get creating.
