Hey there, art lovers!



Life can feel like a whirlwind sometimes, right?

Between creating new pieces, managing orders, and prepping for shows, it's easy to get swept away in the chaos. That's why I wanted to share a Zen proverb that's been helping me find a little more peace amidst the craziness:

"You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes every day — unless you're too busy. Then you should sit for an hour."

At first glance, it might seem a bit counterintuitive. If you're already feeling overwhelmed, how can you possibly justify spending more time doing nothing? 🤔

But that's precisely the point. It's in those moments of stillness, when we allow ourselves to disconnect from the constant buzz of activity, that we can truly recharge and reconnect with ourselves. Even just a few minutes of mindful meditation can make a world of difference. 🧘‍♀️✨

For me, this proverb is a gentle reminder to prioritize my well-being, even when my to-do list seems never-ending. It encourages me to carve out time for self-care, whether it's through meditation, a quiet walk in nature, or simply enjoying a cup of tea in silence. 🍵😌

By taking the time to nurture my inner peace, I find that I'm able to approach my work with renewed focus and energy. I'm less reactive to stress, more present in the moment, and better able to tap into my creativity. 🎨🌈
