Mindful Drawing: Focus Your Mind with Pen and Paper
You don't need to be an artist to benefit from drawing. The simple act of putting a pen or pencil to paper is a powerful form of meditation and a great creative outlet, regardless of your skill level.
Drawing helps you to focus your mind completely on the present moment—the feel of the pencil, the lines appearing on the page. This quiet concentration provides a break from daily worries and can be an amazing way to express emotions that are hard to put into words. This process of mindful creation is a fantastic tool for your overall wellbeing.
