Your creative expression is a gift that reminds you how precious and powerful it is to stay in the present moment, without judgment; to experience gratitude for being alive and able to render a piece of art that captures it.
Pick your medium: make a collage, draw picture, take a walk to photograph something beautiful in nature, write in your journal about what you see, or draft a few lines of a poem and take time to bring yourself fully into the present moment of this creative activity. Simply notice what thoughts and feelings emerge. In your observation, pay attention to how effortless it is to be engaged, focused, and not worried about what is going to happen next.
