Creative Mindfulness: Easy Exercises to Find Magic & Inspiration Everywhere

While it's easy to believe that wonder and delight lie outside of your current life, it's not. Your life is teeming with wonder, the miraculous, and sources of inspiration, even on your daily commute. It all comes to learning how to notice the magic, something we all did as children. 

In fact, this ability to pay attention to what's around us is a creative superpower. The poet Mary Oliver wrote: "Instructions for living a life: pay attention, be astonished, tell about it." Countless other creatives have named this ability to notice as the number one skill to develop for an inspired, connected, and meaningful life. 

Dedicated to this forgotten art and skill, this class will take you on a fun, wonder-filled, and mindful journey where you will hone in your ability to pay attention through your five senses. Structured as a seven day challenge, this class will present daily 30 minute creative mindfulness exercises that'll invite you to discover the hidden magic right where you are.

Since this class is really one in which you'll get out of it what you put in, it is highly encouraged to commit to completing all of the exercises. If you can't do it 7 days, no worries. Just choose a timeline that works best for you. 

By the end of this class, I hope your life will feel more alive with delight, with you seeing how everything can be a source of inspiration to fuel your creative life. 

Have fun!
