The ability to be mindful is often difficult. However I have found that for me, practicing it multiple times throughout the day makes it easier for me to get myself in the state to use it to create beautiful and inspirational art that will be beneficial to be positive when I might be feeling the energy taking over my mind. The projects I create during these moments allow me to have the ability to look at something physical, in reach of touch, and remind myself that it is important for my mental and spiritual well being to hold onto the positive energy that surrounds me, but for whatever reason, I have to become aware.
These pictures are of a desk that have been used by all three of my children and was headed to the dumpster. Still sturdy, but not aesthetically pleasing to the eye, I decided to focus my mind to putting it to good use.
With the many magazine clippings I have found over the last 6 months, and the shells I had collected at the beach, I changed the desk to reflect who I am, who I want to be, how I want to focus my daily recovery. This "refurbished" desk now sits in my serenity, spiritual, and prayer area in my bedroom. When I am working on my blog, or just my daily writing, it provides me with positive affirmations, future ambitious thoughts, and lots of writing prompts.
End result every time...creating while mindful and becoming grounded to stay positive and keep positive energy in my thoughts.
