Doodling

Good, old-fashioned, DOODLING.

You honestly can’t beat it for a spot of ‘mindfulness’ - and by that I mean something that is able to ‘take you away’ from life’s problems and stresses; something that takes just enough brain power to distract from other things, but not enough to allow your mind to wander too far.

Everyone is different when it comes to their own ‘signature’ doodling, so just go with the flow and see what comes out!

Use an old envelope, a notebook, the corner of an unimportant letter. Anything really!

If they need something to ‘start them off’, use a newspaper or a magazine page - trace the lines of something on there, or doodle a moustache on the face of a celebrity! Just start, and see where the pen takes you.

This is a NO PRESSURE, NO RESULT task. It is certainly not about what you end up with, it’s all about the process!
