🙃 this didn’t feel productive at all

I sat down, paintbrush in hand…

…uncertainty mixed with a feeling of excitement coursed through my veins.

It felt strange to set my phone to “do not disturb” and carve out space for this…

The voice in my head was repeatedly whining, “This is an epic waste of time.”

I turned down the dial on that voice and began to paint.

As I dipped the paintbrush into the water, playfully selecting and mixing colors to my heart’s content. I found myself relaxing into the moment.

Often the thing that keeps us from taking time for playfulness and self care is having the belief that by taking time for ourselves we’re not being “productive”…

We are trained out of prioritizing our desires because we’re taught to focus on productivity and only do the things that “move the needle”.

We’re led to believe the other stuff is frivolous and unimportant…because it often involves doing less, slowing down, and being playfully curious.

If you have something on your heart that you’ve been yearning to try or something that you’ve been longing to learn…I have great news!

You are SO loved! ❤️
