Wreck This Journal (Black) Expanded Edition: To Create Is to Destroy

Product Information

Draw a picture of your inner critic and write down the negative thoughts they say. Then, draw a picture of your inner ally and write down positive affirmations they say in response. Write a letter to your future self, telling yourself how proud you are for overcoming your fears and anxieties.

Write about a time you embraced the messiness and uncertainty of life instead of seeking perfect control. Record your emotions throughout the day and assign a color to each one. Create a color map of your day. List all the things you wish to do and then cross off the impossible, considering the remaining options. But hey, if anyone enjoys this or gets something out of this who am I to judge? It's definitely thinking outside of the box. I can see the quirky appeal of it and I can see why it would sell well in a gift shop... whether or not it would be read. I can see why it would be fun to someone completely bored and young and free. Like when I was much younger and had to sit at a parent's friend's house, the boredom of being trapped in one space... I can see then how this book could be a day of activities that might help me forget I was trapped. But even still, does it lead anywhere in improving 'creativity'? Doesn't it fail in being unable like any other book might, in leaving some lasting reflection and change us as individuals?Make a collage of images that make you happy and calm. Look at it when you are feeling anxious or fearful. You can keep the completed journal as a memento or display it in your home. You can also choose to share it on social media to inspire others. Closing: What I mean by that is, it pushes your boundaries and makes you think of both art and journaling in a different way. It tries to expand the ideas we have established of what we think a journal is. See, it’s not just about someone sitting down to neatly chronicle events and feelings; rather it can be the ultimate form of expression, experimentation of creation, and thought collection!

Sketch an abstract image using only primary colors, then write a poem around it to represent its meaning. Write a poem or personal mantra. Obliterate it with paint, leaving one word visible. How does this change the meaning? Write a letter to yourself, giving yourself encouragement and motivation to overcome your fears and anxieties.I was a bit skeptical at buying this at first, but it was for a secrete santa gift for my daughter. She absolutely loved this journal. It allowed her to be creative, destructive, rebellious, and not follow the rules of ordinary journals! Ok, so this journal sounds dangerous huh? Not at all. It allows the creative side of the kid come out. The chance to write a journal without ordinary rules, make journaling fun and exciting. It is a must have I say!! I would buy this again!" — Stephanie Create a collage using images from magazines that represent your current mood and annotate each with a word or phrase. Design a visual representation of a moment of enlightenment—the moment something became clear to you. Exploring feelings: Most of us feel better if we have somewhere we can freely express our emotions, without judgment, and kids are no different. A journal provides your child with an outlet for the thoughts and feelings they may not want to share with anyone, or even speak aloud (1). Improving writing skills: A journal is a no-pressure place where your child can feel they are in control of the content. They are more likely to willingly write in the journal if they control the content, and the practice will improve their writing skills.
