Summary

Hello and welcome to episode 140 of The Mindful Kind podcast. This episode is all about how to look at (and create!) art more mindfully.

If you're not yet following me on Instagram, you can find me @rachaelkable.

How to look at art mindfully:

Notice the different colours and textures
Be non-judgemental
Feel the emotions and moods the art might evoke (side note: two of my favourite artists to follow on Instagram include @tbfrost and @sophiemelville_artist

If you'd like to check out the gorgeous watercolour cards Sophie and I collaborated on, you can find them here: http://www.sophiemelville.com/product/gift-cards-set-of-6

Don't forget to create some kind of art mindfully this week by allowing yourself to make mistakes, tuning in to your senses and observing feelings as they come and go.

Thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful week, Mindful Kind.
