Creative Recipe of the Week: Three Tiny Permissions
You do not have to wait until you feel fearless.
Give yourself one small permission and begin.
Ingredients:
  • Art journal or sturdy paper
  • 3 small paper scraps
  • Glue stick
  • Black pen
  • Purple, dusty rose, and olive markers or crayons
  • Yellow or gold marker, optional
Directions:
  1. Tear three paper scraps into loose circles or ovals. They do not need to match.
  2. Glue the shapes in a row or loose triangle, leaving a little space between them.
  3. Write one permission on each shape: Make a mess, Change my mind, and Stop when it feels complete.
  4. Loosely outline each shape twice with black pen. Let the lines overlap and wobble.
  5. Connect the shapes with three curved purple lines, then add a few olive dots and dusty rose marks.
  6. Write the quote in an open space.
Optional Reflection:
Which permission would make creating feel easier today?
Example Quote:
“I am allowed to create in ways that feel like me.”
Creative Garnish:
Add one tiny gold star beside the permission you want to use first.
