Happiness Break: Sketching Serenity, With Chris Murchison

The Science of Happiness

31-10-2024 • 7 mins

A guided drawing meditation to help you break out of stale thought patterns and maybe even enter a state of flow. No talent required.

How to Do This Practice:

  1. Grab a piece of paper and something to draw with.
  2. Find a comfortable place and start by taking some deep, mindful breaths
  3. Take a few moments to take in your environment. What colors, shapes, and objects do you see?
  4. Set a timer and for the next two minutes, draw something that caught your attention. Don’t worry about how it looks and try to stay in the moment.
  5. Once time is up, spend a moment appreciating what you drew. Think about the impact of slowing down and doing something fun has had on your day.
