Reflection

Reflecting on a moment in time can be a helpful way to be grateful for where you’ve been and keep focused on where you’re going. Take some time this weekend to write a few hurtles you’ve jumped through to get where you are today. Find some gratitude for your strength and even be in a bit of awe of your resilience. Life is challenging so reflecting on the whole picture can be rewarding. If you’d like a visual to support this idea, then take a look at Pointillism (also known as stippling), an Impressionist painting style. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac created this stippled technique as a branch of Impressionism Art. Millions of little dots are strategically placed so when seen from a distance it appears as one big picture. If you’re feeling creative, give pointillism a try. You do not need an art degree to pull this off. Stipple smiley face, the sunshine or a flower. Doodling has calming effects so it’s perfect for alleviating stress and anxiety.

Happy reflecting and stippling weekend!
