Yesterday I completed my first ever watercolour painting project. It was through a mindfulness art class. I signed up thinking it was drawing but at the last moment discovered it was watercolour painting. I stepped out of the comfort zone and chose to embrace the mindfulness of the class. I think for me challenging myself by focusing on creating rather than technical aspects is the key but it’s super challenging to do that.

I’m working on it.
Helps:
-5 minute expectation, I tell myself I can quit after 5 minutes. Once started…
- small projects placed around the house
- a variety of projects available to jump into as the mood strikes
- I limit my screens during the day (still watching and scrolling too much in the evening)
