Art journaling for a mental vacation can be used to document your life or 'manifest' it. You can use it to sketch what has happened or as a mental vacation, to sketch what you'd like to happen. On that note, my favorite symbolic act of sketch/ art journaling is to turn any "bad", negative feelings into pictures. Especially if you can't draw! Make them ugly, funny, messy. Demystify them and take away their power.
