A Blog About Relaxing With Doodling
For creative efforts that illustrate our current and times.
As we somehow manage to navigate through each day, stress is ever present in our lives. It becomes a “given” for us to accept and to deal with. It can become a part of each of us. And that’s where the addiction comes in. Then it becomes important to find ways of relieving that stress within. It’s important to actively search for ways to believe your body and find some peace.

It’s often said that Now is all there is. How much time do you spend mulling over the Past? Can’t change that can you?. Worry about your Future much? Do you ever notice that it never comes out the way you expected or worried about? And you have to deal with it creatively on the spot. So, staying in NOW is really the only place we can do something about.
This phrase was given to me years ago. I’ve found it to be very useful. Feeling bored? Tell yourself it’s time for something new. It’s time to embrace change.
I doodled soft, rounded letters snuggled together plus some action lines to give my characters a cozy-up feeling. It’s comforting. Have a cuddle today.
This can be your daily affirmation for your mind. Why not begin repeating it for yourself over several days? This is your signal to the universe for help.
This is my commentary on the accelerating pace driving our lives today. How much more can we try to do in each 24 hours? More importantly, how can each of us find quiet moments for relief and recharging?
Give me your fears. This is a request from our Creator. I’ve found that this idea is of considerable help to me in the middle of the night when I can be kept awake with old fearful thoughts I harbor. God does this for me and I sleep. I recommend this prayer as an antidote to negative thinking anytime.
Fear and Love are emotional opposites. At times we feel we are shrouded in fearful Darkness. Love is the Light we need. Exercise the Light whenever and wherever you can. Live with the Light!
Each of us has to deal with this emotion today. It’s around us a lot — so much so that we tend to take it for granted. This wordtoon reminds us that it’s important to realize how much it affects our thinking and emotions. It’s a highly negative showing up daily in our news, TV shows and entertainment. Even pop music occasionally reminds me of the painting “Scream” Fear’s opposite is LOVE. We need more of this in our lives. Can you consider a media “fast” in your life to limit your exposure to FEAR?
It’s natural to want to be comfortable in life. And the desire to want something new is natural. Realize that you may also want to create change for yourself to perk up your life!
