Shit Week.

- Errrrmmmm, yeah 😉
These two art journal pages are desk scrap creations - the collage, the paint colours chosen, even the stencil used...all just whatever was in reach and leftover from other projects. I needed the process to be as easy as possible so I love falling back on this 'technique' of having your desk do the hard thinking part for you.
See you next week, hopefully in a better mood (me...not you, you're lovely 😘)

I’m so sorry to hear that you were / are having such a tough time. But thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting this. Words cannot express how helpful I have found it. I’m new to art journaling and suffer from several chronic illnesses so when I’m having a shit day I just seem to procrastinate and internalise. Wanting to be creative but feeling im not in the right mood to do so. So seeing you express your shitness through your journal I found really inspiring. There’s so many wonderful journaling videos out there that are all sunshine and rainbows but not always true to life. This video is one of the most brutally honest I have ever seen. Thank you so much 🙏 😘
Thank you for acknowledging your crappy week. We all get them and soldier on, however, sometimes we can't. We need to stop, acknowledge, feel and do something that makes us calm.
As soon as I saw the title I knew this is speaking to me, relating deeply and appreciating your pep talk, its helps to know that I am not alone ❤
Thanks for posting even though it was a crappy week. You're still an inspiration! I am on the other side of the hormones now but remember how miserable it can be. Enjoy your weekend of zero pressure and rest!
So glad you are a human being like everyone else here and not one of those people who pretends their world is nothing but perfect.
Denial makes you sick, and that is 100% true. What matters is what you do with that energy.
You could write about how you feel and then destroy your writing too. Its privacy but also release. I found chopping up my writing very relaxing, some people even safely burn it too if its too private. Talking to others as well as talking on paper may help too, the last few years have been super hard ones. Hope you've had a much better relaxing week this week.
Jenni you ARE an inspiration. The message of this video is very important. I too try my best to be positive and practice gratitude on a daily basis, but some days (or weeks... or even months) can be truly awful. And sometimes it's more healthy to acknowledge the pain of the moment and allow yourself to express it before you can rise above it. And I think that often times on social media we only get to see the pretty side of life, but in reality we all have shit times in our life. And so yes, this is inspiring, and also comforting to know that we are all human trying our best one day a time. Wishing you a much better time this coming week ❤
Love your openness and honesty. It can give us all a chance to feel it’s not just me. Hugs💕
Yes! It is absolutely ok to allow yourself to feel the crappy just as we allow ourselves to feel the joy. Expressing yourself through your art journaling, I feel is a great way to release whatever that energy is. Thanks for sharing this...I feel you girl. 🙃
I hope you'll feel better soon.
I can relate to feeling like crap for "no apparent reason".... and sometimes for good reason too.
Your pages are great.
Love the matte black with pops of bright color, and the geometric stencil as well!
Thank you for sharing your shit week with us. I appreciate the genuine emotions! I had a shit day Saturday but I still had some good moments so I'm focusing on that lol. Sending you some positive energy for this next week.
Thank you! Hugs! My shit week is continuing. I can’t control everything but I can control my reaction! Thanks for the reminders! 🤗
Thanks for making this video. I get through crap days (and I have a lot of them) by just believing that things are going to get better. So I don't take it out on anyone, I usually keep to myself by retreating to my studio and attempt to do something creative.
I must say that this has to be the very best video I have ever seen. It was so much needed.
Thank you so much Misty 💗
You are an amazing woman!! Thanks for sharing your true feelings…..I use that F bomb probably more than I should…but when I sit down to ‘art’ when I am blue….it helps eminently.
Even though you had a sh$t week, that second page is lovely on all black. I think encouraging people to just acknowledge their real feelings is very freeing. My mom's favorite cuss word when I was growing up was sh!t so I've been hearing it (and saying it!) for a verrrrry loooong time 😂❤💕
I appreciate your raw honesty.....I think that as humans we need to express our inner feelings and where we are at in the moment more!
Feel better asap!!!!!! Hugs to you!🥰
Thank you very much for your honest sharing! I appreciate that! I also find art journaling an effective way to channel emotions, especially the negative ones. Take care and wish you peaceful 2022 :)
i hear ya loud and clear just did a mind dump in my art journal yesterday after a cry it help get all the thoughts out im still feeling shit but better than yesterday...this too shall pass
If it's any consolation, your video made me laugh because I can so related. No longer hormones (had those parts yanked years ago, don't miss 'em one bit and wasn't using them anyway) but went on antidepressants about 15 years ago when all sorts of things converged and life sucks without them. Just to add to all the things that converged, I was diagnosed with incurable but treatable cancer in 2010 and have quite a spread in a journal full of the words you used -- and more -- nicely collaged over that was so cathartic to do. There are days that gets me down, or the treatment wears me to a nub, and there's no use fighting it on those days. You just roll with it and be you! This was a great lesson for everyone -- THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing your true feelings. I hope that things improve soon. All the best.
It's OK not to feel OK, one day at a time xxoo
sharing your truth is the best thing forever and always. you MUST feel what you feel and then work your way through. you teach it because it's the right thing. I adore you. I admire you. some days I believe I can feel you, or at least feel me and relate to you when you say how you feel. xoxo the very hardest thing in the whole wide ass world is to give YOURSELF the freedoms and compassions and understandings that you gift to others naturally.
Omg I've felt the same last week...omg was it shit, a d you have explained it bang on x
Thanks Jenni...sometimes you need someone else to say this to you. I needed this to hear this from you. :)
Hang in there young lady. I pray that you'll have a great weekend of doing nothing but what you want to do. God bless you young lady. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
Thanks for sharing that, Jennibellie. I feel the same way, but not so alone in that feeling now.
There’s so much covid fatigue going on and on and on. I’ve never even imagined that you use the f word.lol. I’m loving that you’re on you tube again.
Based on the video title and your opening comments, I would normally have not watched this one. I spent the better part of many years having three weeks out of the month feeling like you felt this week. I have no idea how I survived. I would have so benefited from hearing the words you spoke on this video during those times. Thank you for speaking words of wisdom to the many I'm sure will benefit from hearing them. I'm glad I did.
I'm so sorry that you felt so depressed. It's often a hormonal issue that we women struggle with all our lives. Now that I am (finally) rid of my monthly misery, I feel stable for the first time in my 59th year of life. I wish you and all women a lot of strength to deal with this monthly misery. And just let it happen, indulge in the journals. Lots of love from the Netherlands🌻🐦🌼✂️✏️🖌️🎨💕💕
THANK YOU!!! I've not listened in for so long but am always careful to not lise connection with you and your work. You will never know how important you have been to me and how valuable to share and witness your process. I'm definitely feeling enormous shit energy right now and I really appreciate the remindee to welcome that in and just let it be. Allow the energies to move through. love you Jenny! You are so on Soul Purpose! Thanks😊💗💗💗
Sending you lots of hugs and healing vibes Angela 💗💗
Omg I talk like this every day, haha! I feel right at home. But on my channel people would be all butt-hurt if I actually talked like I do in daily life. LOVE IT!
Big humongified HUUUUGS. Sometimes we feel what we feel and, you're right, we can't fix it. We trudge through the thigh high mud until we make it through. It's a difficult journey at a time where even normally easy things are extra hard. Rest, heal, know it's not forever, and that we are rooting for you to make it to the other side. And I hope I remember what I said the next time it hits me. Love&hugs, dear one.
Just be how you are . If we can create something, if we have the time and resources to express the negative, that's healthier than denial. Be glad you have the time, resources and space to do it. I write my thoughts down, generally wake up at night and just put down what comes into my head. Always struggled with these issues, older now and still have to rationalise the issue and consciously put positives to myself, and this helps. The creativity is my life line!. Brave to share! XXB
creativity is definitely a life line, thanks for commenting x
Thanks for being open and normal x
We all have those times, I think.... all part of life.
The key is to not let it lock you up inside of it... weather the storm but look forward to the sun shining again and rejoice in the sun when it comes back out.
🍃🤗😍🍃
I love “real”!!! And sometimes that means cussing up a storm…something I engage in a lot! I’m bipolar. Need I say too much more. Journaling is my sanity. It’s a way to get it all out without taking it all out on the world. Yes, a release valve. Thank you for your raw and honest self. God Bless!
Thanks for this! It’s good to know I’m not the only one! Hugs to you.
You too!! x
Hello Jenniebellie, I am so glad that you posted this video. You are so right about emotions and art. I had a shit year. In 2021, I lost my truck in a fire. Of course, no insurance, no job. I lost my house to foreclosure ( I had owned it for 26 years), and had no vehicle sufficient enough for my family. I thought I was going to be catatonic. I thought that I should taking crafting supplies with me to the nuthouse. I wanted to bedazzle my straightjacket. But I could not have the meltdown I deserved. I had to pick myself up to keep my family afloat. I lost most of my supplies. I just used what I could see. I had paper, fabric, beads, my tools and thoughts of selfcare. I lost my house in November. Christmas was around the corner. I didn't have any money for anything. But I did have lots of time and some supplies. I made earrings and went to a craft bazaar. My daughter brought some of her paintings. All together we made over $300 dollars. I gave her some dollars to go shopping for Christmas gifts. She bought brightly colored wood beads and made everyone a gift. I had used some money for Christmas dinner and paid my light bill. I do not think that I could of made it through my hardship, if it weren't for my art. I am glad that I can rage craft. hahaha. I hope you are feeling better. hugs*, Conz
Rage craft lol you should coin that term. Sorry to hear you've gone through such a tough time, wishing you a much better 2022. Lots of love xx
@@jennibellie Thank you for replying:) I love your channel and your art. Lia (it means little sister in iichiishkiin language-Yakama tribe-Washington state) you can definitely coin the term. All I want is a shout out:) I hope you have such a great year. Thank you for caring. It means a lot. love, Conz
Thank you, thank you so much for this video.
I'm lacking words but just want to say that I'm ex-military with PTSD, struggling with depression everyday and really, hearing all you express verbally or creatively just got me to think that you are one true artist on this platform who doesn't try to make everything pink and blue but rather reminds us that we are human with emotions. Just simple as that.
From the bottom of my heart/art, thank you.
The beginning of this video had me rolling. Also when you said, "every day of the fecking month!" I say feck youtubes algorithm! I been watching you for 11 years and Im not going anywhere! Loved this video. Good for you. Do more of these sh!tty candid ones! Love it babe. Love you for you.
Hang in there love!! Sending hugs ❤
I so hear you! Been there, done that. For years now.
You are so right, again. As the Beatles say « Let it be ». We’ve all been there. And you « showed up » so yeah for you. ID love to know how it is going with your cat… 😺
She is AMAZING...but I'm obviously biased lol she's (very) happy so I'm happy, thanks for asking ❤❤
I hear ya.take care.
Had one of those weeks not that long ago.
I felt like sh@t as well…. What pulled my out of it was changing my hair color. Lol
YES!!!
It's OK to not be ok!!! I love that you're staying true to yourself! If I may, I just learned about Neurographic Art. I can relate to everything you're going through! I decided to try this Neurographic Art and it totally helps with my struggles, anxiety, manic depression, bipolar. I hope you check it out, I highly suggest giving it a go! If you want...lol! Sending love and light to you! ✌❤🙂
It is on my 2022 list of things to learn/look into. I have heard of it only but will def look into it thank you
My counselor suggested that I do art pages that were frustrating and bitchy. I “enjoyed “ releasing.
I once accused my husband of breathing so loud....on PURPOSE! Hormones are powerful and real!
this made me 😅 but so true!
💜
❤
I have a lot of shit days this last year. So it's okay to swear. I do it all the time. Take care.
You might want to read "The Words to Say it" by Marie Cardinal. Be well
hmm interesting, I shall look it up Stella
THANK YOU!! Not every single thing in the WORld has to be about children!
I had a S#### week last week and only did a page of collage in my new raw journal...
Feeling better after a couple of days of rest
Excellent - sending healing vibes too ~~~~
Thank you
❤🧡💛💚💙💜
YESSSSS, thank you Jennibellie, get it out of your system. We women ARE the stronger sex, we go through this STUFF evey blooming month. !!!!! I'm so glad I'm out of the cycle now, being in my seventies, but I remember the "shit weeks" very well. Hope you're back to your lovely creative self very soon.. what am I saying, you ARE still creating ..... I love the music at the end of your video, have heard it before, but couldn't find the title, can you tell me who it ts by? Love and hugs xxxx Wendy
Thank you for sharing, it's good to know that it happens to all women, every freaking month! hehe
I have had a s*** last 4 months……as they say “things can only get better”. As if 😅😅😅😅
Jennie , wise words. It’s ok not to feel OK. I suffer from depression and anxiety, sometimes I don’t want to get out of bed let alone create anything. Luckily periods have passed me by , menopause didn’t hit me too bad and I’m out the other end. Meds are stabilising me when I can sit at my desk creating does help. But shit happens… fuck it. It will pass .
*hugs*
I am SO thankful I was not 'the only one' going through stuff this week.
Today has been a better day.
I am waiting for the paper to come to make my 'no sew' journal - the size you used 😀
I always write in a journal every day,(have done since about October 2019 from memory) sometimes this becomes an art journal lol and I am also doing a 'whimsical' drawing with each journal entry.
Message very clear, and perfectly acceptable. You'll be flyin' high tomorrow. Glad you can express the bad so eloquently and artistically - good for you.
I love the truth and honesty that comes through in your face and eyes and what you do. It's okay to feel shit and have a bad day/s, we have to leave the fairy tale that life is always cookies and cream behind and accept that some days are like shit on toast and just get on with it.
Thank you for your authenticity. Big hugs and wishing you the best for 2022.
❤️ 100% unapologetic for having a shit week...I love you girl!
We all have shit weeks every now and then. Cool to see you showing that! Hope things brighten up soon for you.
Glad you shared your truth. Love the pages (those Posca pens are fire!! ❤️).
Well and if you aren’t speaking your truth….what’s the point, right? Pollyanna is so passe. Lol soldier on Chicka!😎😎😎
I applaud your sharing these feelings. Depression is very serious and debilitating, if unchecked. Life is life, whether we’re able to deal with it or not! How we cope and balance is up to us - And that is the sometimes dastardly challenge we face. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you so much for this video, Jennibellie. That was exactly what I needed to hear. Been totally stuck in that state all week and feeling guilty and mad at myself for not making the effort to get out of it. The compassionate way to see this is that I need to ride that wave and your video is helping me lean into that. Sending much love ❤️
Thank you!!! I needed this! I had a shit week too! Big hugs to everyone out there who might need one!!!
I need a hug and right back to you! Hope this week is better.
I'm in USA thought u should know..
I had the same kind of week and it culminated in a HUMONGOUS meltdown this morning. Thanks for being real. 🙏❤
Hope you're feeling better x

@@jennibellie thank you so much! ❤
One of my fav Korean shows: it's OK to not be OK. Like the weather, this will pass. My niece has bled for 2 years. She is finally getting relief from a hysterectomy. She's just 44. Hope you're feeling better.
Thank you so much for posting this! I don't think I'd be diagnosed as clinically depressed, but the past momth or so has been really bad for me. I have a chronic condition that limits me so much, and I'm also fighting an uphill battle to get my familh (who are also my caregivers) to understand that, as I;m running down physically it is importanmt to feel I'm able to accomplish something to keep myself sane, as well a physical therapy (you don't use it, you lose it!). Much of what you've said has hit hpme with me, and having finally had a chance to do things since long before Christmas I intend to try and build on it. Thanks again for the pep talk!
I'm m so grateful for your sharing your truth. 💔 Sorry it was so hard. I hope you're feeling better. Thank you for letting in. 🌹
This is now the Best Video EVER!!!
Thank you for being open.
Thank you!!!!!!
Sending HUGS :)
Jenni your message is what I needed to get. Positively spent so much time trying to make sure I watch each person's video comment go to the lives of all my friends. I'm overwhelmed with social media. On top of that I have sinusitis and double ear infections. But you brought a smile to my face and made me feel so much better I watched this three times in the last week while I've been sick I just had to let you know that I appreciate all you do. You're one of my favorite artists!! Your video reflect so much you are beautiful inside and out. I'm thrilled you're a friend in the Box. Hopefully you are having the Happiest New Years!! Namesta ✌️🕉️🐞
Aww honey I'm so sorry to hear you've been ill, I hope you are feeling better now? Sending you healing vibes ~~~
Jenni thanks for your concern. You are so sweet.Namesta ✌️🕉️🐞
Fantastic - this video has connected with me and I’ll be taking it all on board - thank you 😊
