Pop Your Mind

A colorful practice in hearing yourself out loud

Think in color

Speak in shape

What if the thoughts in your mind had speech bubbles?

Would they shout? Whisper? Echo someone else's voice?

Pop Art turned thoughts into lines and dots

It gave emotion a graphic edge

It didn't lower its volume to seem serious

Neither should you

Self-talk is often invisible

But like the dots in a Roy Lichtenstein print, it builds the fabric of how we feel.

What if we chose to make it visible?

The dots behind the dream

In Pop Art, the dots weren't decoration

They made the image

In you, too, some dots connect: beliefs, echoes, habits

One thought is just a pixel

But patterns repeat

and shape how you see yourself

Growth doesn't always begin with a breakthrough

Sometimes, it starts with noticing the dot you've been repeating

Coloring outside the thought

Negative self-talk is painted in flat grey

Pop Art doesn't

It exaggerates to reveal, not to fake

To speak to yourself with boldness is not a delusion

It is art

It is rewriting the comic strip, so I hope it gets a panel, too

Make your inner voice pop

Dots & Dreams is a card game with a journal

But really, it's a way of listening

Each card offers a playful question

Each page becomes a place to answer

Not to fix but to hear

Not quietly but brightly

Questions in halftone

What if your dreams had speech bubbles?

What if your fears did, too?

Would you edit the script?

Add more color?

Let a different voice speak?

"Pop art is a way of liking things."

Andy Warhol

Panels of the mind

Choose a card

Imagine it as a comic panel

How would your kinder self say it?

How would your critical self be?

Now answer with a bubble

Playful. Real. Imperfect. Heard.

You don't need a new voice

Just the courage to color it in
