When something resonates it gives us energy

April 10, 2021

Make your list and keep it handy

What resonates within

What things are you drawn to? Things that have always been of interest in your life. Things that fascinate or feel part of who you are.

Have you ever made a list of these things in an “art” format?

I first saw “brick notes” used by author Austin Kleon. I like the way it looks and used this format to create my list.

I started with one of the first things I love and wrote it down at the top and drew a rectangle. Art led to Writing which led to Books to Creativity and so on. I switched pen colors to make it prettier.

When something resonates, it replenishes our energy. We feel enlivened and connected. I keep this list as a reminder of the things that bring me joy and inspiration.

Create a list of your own. It’s a fun exercise. It doesn’t have to be on a whiteboard. Grab a sheet of paper. It doesn’t have to be in “brick note” format either. Use your imagination and create the list of what resonates within YOU.

If you want to share on social media, use the hashtag #whatresonateswithin 

If what I say resonates with you, it’s merely because we’re branches of the same tree.”

—William Butler Yeats
