Betty-Ann, I have been so enjoying Taking Note. I always look forward to reading these weekly reminders on mindfulness and paying attention to one's experience. Your invitation to us all is one of openness - giving us accessible, grounded ways to spark some curiosity and compassion for ourselves and the life moment we are currently in through a lens of creative expression.
And Feed The Monster is like a meatier version of that with you talking about your experiences, your process, your humanness and vulnerability through humour and art that is real, authentic and captivating.
The world needs more of this and I’m so glad you are here. THANK YOU ⚡️♥️
Great post and artwork as usual! The nervous system reset that I like best is the Voo breathing method - I find it so grounding! (https://insighttimer.com/originalblueprint/guided-meditations/regulating-the-nervous-system-with-the-voo-breathing-method)
