Creativity isn’t just about making more... sometimes it’s about looking inward.

In Day 13 of 20 Days to Spark Creativity, artist Amanda Rach Lee guides you through a powerful art journaling exercise focused on self-reflection, self-acceptance, and growth. Instead of visualizing what you want, this prompt asks you to acknowledge what you already are.

Using simple tools like pens, markers, washi tape, and lettering, you’ll create a deeply personal journal spread that explores:

Who you are today

What you appreciate about yourself

Affirmations you want to return to

Creativity as a tool for mental clarity and care

This exercise isn’t about perfection or aesthetics, it’s about honesty, presence, and showing up for yourself on the page. Go small if you need to. Push deeper if you’re ready. Your journal is a safe space to explore it all.
