You can use words, images, symbols or quotes to represent your identity. 2. You can color in sections of your heart (e.g., you might want to color code it: purple for important people, green for passions, blue for goals, yellow for your personal strengths) once you’ve filled in all of the sections. 3. Start in pencil and then start adding colour or fine-lining as you draft your ideas.
