Building Our Internal Compass

Workshop Wednesday Art Therapy Activity To Build Awareness and Acceptance

Happy Workshop Wednesday! If you’re newer here, I host an interactive workshop that dives a bit deeper into what our LMHC describes earlier in the week. If you’re interested in seeing her weekly video that ties directly into this one, click here:

Today we’re doing a little drawing reflection activity on our internal compass. The focus of this exercise is to understand and reflect on:

  • North: our authentic desires and purpose

  • South: our tools we use for grounding

  • East: new possibilities or new paths in life

  • West: releasing what is holding us back

After drawing this out on your sheet of paper, take some time to reflect using some of these guided questions:

  • Was there anything on your compass that surprised you?

  • Were there any directions on the compass that were harder to fill in than others? Why do you think this might be?

  • Which of your “South”, or tools for grounding, feels most helpful to you? If you’d like, you can pair some of these tools with “West”, or letting go.

  • If you had to choose one idea from your “East” category, which one would it be?

  • What is one small action step (pairing “North” and “East”) that could bring you closer to a new possibility pathway?

Thanks again for joining me and I look forward to interacting with you in the comments!
