How It All Started for Me...
During my life I often felt something was missing... it seemed like every time I wanted to buy myself flowers, splurge on something new or indulge in joyful activities, I felt a deep resistance to experience pleasure.
​
It wasn’t that I didn't have time for fun, or couldn’t afford extravagant bouquets of pink flowers. Nor was it a lack of resources to create a beautiful space for myself. It was the layers of emotions I buried under hours of work that left me feeling stressed. It felt like I did not deserve rest, but that was just an older version of an outdated mindset I needed to release & elevate into something better.
​
Maybe you've felt this way too?!
​
Turns out, we need things in our lives that help us balance the mind. We need logic & emotion. We need to work hard & play harder. We need at least one creative outlet to keep our entire brain happy.
We don’t need to deal with stress, we need to find it's counter measure!
My guess is you have not allowed yourself the free thinking luxury of creative expression or the time to enjoy a mindful moment. So, it stands to reason that what you need most is to activate that dormant creative mind & have something beautiful to look forward to; just in case you wanted to live a happier life... ​​​​​

My Recommendation - Adopt a Pleasure Goal!
What is a pleasure goal?
Its something you do for 15-20 minutes a day. Its also a playful release of stress. Its something you can do in front of the tv, in your garden or at the kitchen table (that's where it started for me)
​
Its about exchanging a small amount of time
for a creative mindful practice like
colouring in, writing, sketching or collage
We love the general term Sketchbook Journaling - in other words, making a mess on a page with the intention to rest your mind!
​
The benefits are endless, here are some main ones:
-
its very soothing & therapeutic in nature
-
it empowers emotional expression
-
it relaxes the brain & opens you up to find joy
-
its about doing something fun
-
its an alternative pleasure to prevent wasting your precious time ​​​​​

Please don't wake up tomorrow in the same frame of mind & fall into "auto-pilot mode again!"
