Keeping it Small

 

This blog is devoted to the inconsequential. Usually, this coincides with the small moments of life. Many times our focus is drawn to larger events and topics leading us to forget to give them much attention. I know I have been  guilty of falling into that trap, especially lately. But we can still pull back. In fact, it might be even more important when things start to feel too large. We can control much of the inconsequential in our lives. We can be more present through the little details that surround us. We can breathe knowing that in this minute, we are surrounded by birds, sunshine, and blooming flowers. Take a sensory journey today. Stop for a minute somewhere safe and comfortable. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel (tactilely not emotionally)? Sketch a picture of all the things you obseve then give them positive adjectives such as fuzzy and spicy.  Border your page with a color that you associate with happiness. Maybe even add an animal like a capybara or a panda that appears to have few worries.
