Ways to help you relax and unclutter a restless mind
Relaxation Drawing
What you will need.
A quiet place to sit and draw
A place that is at a nice temperature (you can’t relax if you are cold)
Paper or card
Coloured pencil or pen
Draw a large shape the size of your paper or card.
The shape could be a circle, square or simply a big blob.
Without lifting the pen or pencil off the paper continue to draw over the shape or inside the
shape, you could draw patterns inside the shape or circles and more shapes. It doesn't matter
What the finish result will look like. Just keep your mind focused on the shapes or patterns
you are creating and the sound of your breathing. If it helps you to relax play relaxing
background music. Continue to do this exercise for a few minutes, thinking of the sensations
Of the movement of drawing to help quieten your mind. On completion you
could start the exercise again using different colours, different shapes or patterns.
