Picture Taking Time!

Grab a camera, any camera, bring one along with your phone. It doesn’t matter if you know how to use the camera perfectly yet. (Sometimes those picture turn out the best, like the first time you played poker and won without knowing how you won.)

Take some time this weekend and explore a new park or path you been wanting to visit. If you’re short on time just go for a walk around the block and take random picture of grass, rocks, cars, your hoarder neighbor’s “treasures.”

First, loosen up those tight, hard working shoulders and jaw muscles. It’s the weekend and it is time to do something for yourself. To make sure you’re fully relaxing, tighten up your shoulders, make fists if you need to, hold it, more, okay, let it all go. Now, go with camera or phone in hand on a mini adventure. Listen to the sounds of nature, pan around, take it all in and when you find that naturally lit and framed, perfect to your eye scene, take your shot. Take as many as you want. This is your day in nature taking pictures of what you like, how you like. No rules today. This is a great adventure for a family, a couple or best human or dog friend. Be sure to put your photos of the day in a special folder so when you come across it in the clutter of life you’ll want to take more time to have creative wellness dates for yourself. Be well, be free, create often.

Stepping outside your of daily routine with a creative adventure stimulates your mind and body while strengthening your body’s neuroplasticity.
