for the art asks: 3 & 14!

3. What ideas come from when you were little?

Oh man, probably more than I think. A lot of the "diary" comics I make with Stinky stem from my love and adoration for self-contained sunday funnies. I used to collect copies of Calvin and Hobbes anthologies and read them religiously. Whenever I get stuck putting together a comic I'll check out one of Bill Waterson's comics and they always help me out!

14. Any favorite motifs?

There's so many I like! I don't often think consciously about the motifs I want to include so its always fun to look back at them and notice new things! It's pretty common for me to include astral imagery. Suns, moons, stars, I just adore them. Here's a few pieces with those motifs!

What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is a mental practice that involves focusing your attention on the present moment in a non-judgmental manner. It's about being fully engaged in whatever you're doing, without being reactive or overwhelmed by external or internal events that can divert your attention.

Here are some key aspects of mindfulness:

Present Moment Awareness: Mindfulness emphasizes staying present and fully participating in the current moment, rather than ruminating about the past or worrying about the future.

Non-judgment: It encourages observing your thoughts and feelings without labeling them as good or bad. Instead of reacting to these thoughts or feelings, you just notice them.

Acceptance: Mindfulness involves recognizing things as they are, without trying to change them. This doesn't mean resignation or apathy, but rather observing things without resistance.

Observation: A cornerstone of the practice is to attentively observe your own thoughts, emotions, and sensations without getting caught up in them.

Non-attachment: This means not getting overly attached to particular outcomes or experiences, but instead letting things come and go naturally.

Beginner's Mind: Mindfulness promotes approaching life with the curiosity and wonder of a beginner, as if experiencing things for the first time.

The practice of mindfulness can be cultivated through various means, including but not limited to:

Mindfulness Meditation: This involves sitting in a quiet place and bringing your full attention to your breath, body sensations, or a particular object. When your mind wanders (and it will), you gently bring it back to the present moment.

Body Scan: This is a form of meditation where you mentally scan your body from head to toe, observing sensations without judgment.

Mindful Eating: Eating slowly and savoring each bite, while fully experiencing the taste, texture, and smell of the food.

Mindful Walking: Walking slowly and deliberately, paying attention to every step and the sensation of movement and touch.

Regular mindfulness practice has been linked to numerous benefits, including reduced stress, improved concentration, better emotional regulation, increased self-awareness, and even improvements in physical health. Research has shown its effectiveness in treating various conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

A beginner's mindset

#beginnersmind #openmind #curiosity #learning #exploration #mindset #growth #selfreflection A beginner’s mind is a concept that encourages individuals to approach new experiences with an open and curious attitude. It essentially means to let go of preconceived notions and beliefs, and instead embrace a mindset of learning and exploration. This approach is particularly useful when trying to…

Every time you meditate, you create the world anew

[mindfullytogether]

Beginner's mind isn't just for the meditation cushion. In mindfulness meditation, we often talk about beginner's mind. When we do, we're referring to a state of mind where we take the position of a beginner. We're not trying to master mindfulness, but instead we approach it with a sense of newness, curiousity, and a desire to learn. There are lots of things in life that benefit from mastery and where we most definitely don't want to be a perpetual beginner, but we can still take the beginner's mind approach. We can allow that no matter how much we know, there's always more to learn. Also, no matter how skilled or experienced we are, there are going to be times when we make mistakes or realize there's another way to do something that we hadn't previously been aware of. We're also always changing, so that thing we once loved to do may lose it's charm as new interests arise. We can grow and change so much that we see the world and our place in it in a completely new light. We, essentially, begin again. The longer you live, the more you find yourself beginning again, and again, and again in big and small ways. So, if you find yourself in a place where you're re-doing, correcting, or beginning again know that you are right on track. Just look to Nature for an example. She's in a constant state of growth and change and begins again to our great delight every spring. #mindfulness #mindfulliving #mindfullife #beginnersmind #beginagain https://www.instagram.com/p/CV6Ie3ZL8JE/?utm_medium=tumblr

#WIP I sewed my watercolor painting onto canvas because apparently I wanted everything about this Face to Face portrait project to be a fun new experiment!✍️🧵 For example I have not done a color portrait in watercolor since...high school?? 🎨Oh yeah and there’s a poem written in there, too! 👀Having a playful beginner’s mindset is a big part of how I deal with all the uncertainty, both in art and life. Because I get much better results with curiosity rather than fear.🙏✨ This exhibit opens Friday at @thebridgepai so stay tuned for more deets! . . . #workinprogress #art #illustration #watercolor #watercolorpainting #portrait #sewn #facetoface #lauraleegulledge #portraitsofourcity #thebridgepai #beginnersmind #creativeexplorer #pioneerspirit #followcuriosity https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzoZ8ZldTD/?igshid=dx2xzchkjclu
