Creative Processing Defined: Activating your creative mind to process a certain intention.
CREATIVE PROCESSING CHALLENGE: HOPE
Step 1: Write down your intention:
-
The purpose of [JOURNALING OR CREATING HOWEVER YOU WANT TO CREATE] is to process my [HOPE] and shift from discouragement to belief in what's possible.
-
When we approach creative processing with intention, we open ourselves up to real transformation.
Step 2: Engage your creative mind (aka-CREATE) while thinking through or writing down answers to these prompts:
Prompt 1: Write about a time you felt hopeless.
Ask yourself…
-
What helped you get through?
Prompt 2: Identify one area where you need more hope.
Ask yourself…
-
What’s one area you’re choosing to hope in today?
Prompt 3: Choose to move forward with expectation.
Ask yourself…
-
What’s one small step you can take to nurture hope this week?
-
Write a letter to your future self about what you’re hoping for—and how you’re going to hold on.
Step 3: Reflect.
-
What did that season of hopelessness teach you?
-
Hope isn’t passive—it’s something we build.
-
What’s one area you’re believing for breakthrough in?
