How to Have a Mindfulness Practice Through Creativity
Are you the type of person who hears "enjoy the process" and it seems like a cliche?
You are not alone! We hear these things and know it's what we are "supposed to do," but doing is another story. How do we break the barriers to enjoying the process?
The answer lies in a mindfulness practice and through it, realizing the true medicine available through the act of making art.
Not only does it release feel-good chemicals into your body, but it helps you connect more deeply to yourself!
In this episode, Valerie discusses practical tips for turning your creative practice into a mindful activity and truly begin to experience the joy of the process even if you thought you never could.
