Pump Up Your Life with Scrapbook Pages of Certainty
If you can voice enthusiastically that scrapbooking is your passion, could
you say the same thing about how you feel towards yourself? Yes, can you
tell others without turning all red in the face that you are passionate about
yourself and about who you are? Are you thinking what a Weird remark to
make to others? Could anyone ever be passionate about themselves? But why
not? Do you really want to wait a lifetime for that someone to tell you
that they're passionate about you, while you can't say the same thing about
yourself? As scrapbookers, you might deliberately or unknowingly be
consumed with the business of scrapbooking your kids' or your loved ones' lives.
And all these time neglecting to do pages on yourself. Has too much time
lapsed since you last sat down and scrapbooked about you? Do you find
yourself brushing the task away with a mere, "Nay, what's there to scrapbook
about me? It's more interesting to scrapbook about others." Do you really
think so? Perhaps just think again. Through scrapbooking about yourself,
you aren't depriving others of the chance to be in the scrapbooks. You are in
truth missing out chances to validate yourself as a person. You are not giving
yourself the opportunity to give voice to your thoughts and memories. You are
also leaving the chance to build up scrapbook pages of certainty on the table.
Did I hear you asking curiously, "What's scrapbook pages of certainty?"
Well, for those of us who do spend time to scrapbook about ourselves, we'll feel
a blissful sense of comfort. We become clearer on we've learned on hindsight. We
start to own clarifying thoughts on our goals ahead. And we experience a growing
certainty of who we are as a person, woman, worker, mother, nurturer, homemaker
and other hats that we don on. You can do the same for yourself too.
I urge you to not procrastinate on this important aspect of taking care of
yourself. Instead, put others aside once in a while, and feed your inner desire
for self-awareness and self-growth with scrapbook pages of certainty.
Scrapbooking comes in many formats. You can choose to focus entirely on the
photos with very limited words thrown in. Or you can be an advocate for strong
and meaningful journaling. Whatever it is, when it comes to scrapbooking
about you, I'll like to say that heartfelt journaling is crucial. Because
by giving substance in the form of words to your thoughts, feelings and
recollections about yourself, you are in a way reaffirming your sense of being.
You're telling the universe, "Hey, this is who I am!" Occasionally, on my
scrapbook pages, you'll see mainly journaling without a stitch of photo. And
yet, some of these pages are among my most effective pages. So don't be
afraid to give strength to your words and let them pour forth and land
themselves naturally onto your scrapbook pages. Sometimes, certain themes
might bog you down longer than others. Don't give up. The harder it is to
scrapbook on a theme about yourself, the bigger will be the affirmation or
breakthrough that you might experience. Do yourself a favor. Focus
on scrapbooking all about yourself on some days. You'll be elated to uncover a
growing sense of certainty of who you are, as you go about scrapbooking the
scattered pieces of yourself and your memories. "There is only one person
who can write the story of your life, with all its foibles, follies, treasures
and tears. That person is you."- Kathleen Adams Need some inspirations or
ideas that can spark up your session on scrapping about yourself? Look out for
my "Scrapbooking Yourself as a Girl, Youth and Your College Days" and
"Scrapbooking Yourself as a Mother, Homemaker, Worker and More". Happy
scrapping! About the Author:

Starting Your Own Scrapbook Club
