DON’T TOUCH IT: The Art (and Life) Lesson We All Need
Have you ever ruined a perfectly good art page by trying to “fix” it? Same. 😄
Episode 11: DON’T TOUCH IT is a light, nervous-system-friendly practice for the part of us that tightens the grip—on art, on moments, on outcomes. We’ll talk about why “just one more thing” can be a cue to pause, then you’ll be guided through a short "hands-off" practice.
Today’s art prompt:
Write DON’T TOUCH IT, then paint around the words like you’re giving the message a soft halo. Simple… and strangely revealing.
No art skills needed. Just a pen and paper (optional: alittle color).
Links & resources:
- A Garden for the Soul Journal – My meditative art journal to gently support your creative self-care
- The Joy of Journaling Circle – A nurturing community for art journaling, calm, and creative self-discovery
Note: This podcast offers gentle self-care practices and is not therapy or medical advice. If you’re having a really hard time, please reach out to professional support.
Background music:
