IFS Phone Wallpapers

A Creative Departure from Stats

This post is a little different from my planned content. My blog is meant to be dedicated to deep dives into stats, data trends, and maybe some cool geospatial stuff down the road. But recently, I found myself working on something a bit more artistic, and I thought it’d be fun to share it here.

I’ve been diving into the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, which is a psychotherapy framework that focuses on understanding and compassionately connecting to the different parts of our personality. It is the approach that my own psychotherapist uses. Reading No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz has also been really helpful in giving some of the context around how he developed it.

The 8 C’s of Self are Calm, Clarity, Compassion, Connectedness, Courage, Confidence, Creativity and Curiosity. I do admit that remembering all 8 is pretty challenging, so I thought I’d make a phone wallpaper to remind me of them.

“Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.”

These wallpapers were a small, spontaneous idea. Whether you’re into IFS or just looking for something pretty and calm for your phone, I hope you’ll enjoy them!

These wallpapers were created on Canva.
