Listening to Your Inner Weather

This art journaling prompt is about noticing and giving form to your inner emotional landscape—like the weather patterns inside you. Emotions shift and change, and you don’t have to judge or control them—just witness them.

Step 1: Map the Sky
On your page, draw a large space that feels like a sky—open, wide, or however you imagine it. It could be divided into sections or left as one big field.

Step 2: Name the Weather
Think about what emotions or states you’re carrying right now. For each one, imagine it as a kind of weather:

• Joy might be sunshine.

• Sadness might be rain.

• Anger might be lightning.

• Calm might be still clouds.

Draw, color, or symbolize these weather patterns across your page.

Step 3: Notice the Forecast
Look at your weather map. Do you see storms, clear skies, or a mix? Add a horizon line, a tree, or something grounded that represents you standing beneath this weather.

This image holds your current emotional climate. Sit with it and notice: What’s passing through? What feels steady?
