Creativity is powerful. It disarms us. It opens space to hear from the Lord.

Try to put your emotions on paper in different ways to see what you learn. Bring your children along on the journey.

Explore what they are feeling or what they want to feel. Sort out thoughts from feelings. Discern truth from lies. Heart Doodling with Jesus is a powerful tool you can use with your children to build their emotional intelligence. It is also a great tool when you are trying to connect with them in hard emotions.

How did emotions become overwhelming, and scary?

It is the practice of stuffing and dismissing them that causes them to explode with hurtful consequences. The consequences are scary and hard, not the emotions themselves.
 
Being aware of emotions is the first step to sitting with ALL of your emotions.

Once you can sit with your emotions you can hear the Lord inviting you into an experience with Him even when those emotions are uncomfortable.

Sarah shares her experience and perspective as a therapist, woman, and mom of how Heart Doodling with Jesus is a powerful tool to be able to sit with your emotions and be curious.
