Daily Nourishment for November 13, 2024: Doses of Art for Nourishment and Inspiration
Daily Nourishment Read Time: 30 seconds
Pause/Prompt/Practice Time: 15 minutes
May we put ourselves in the way of books, poems, visual art, music, and more as we navigate all of what this world and this life has for us.
Pause.
Take six deep breaths with a six-count inhale and a six-count exhale. Close your eyes and rest for a few minutes.
Prompt.
Set a timer for seven minutes and make a list of all of the books, poems, stories, visual art, films, TV shows, and all other genres and forms of art that you’ve engaged with over the past few days.
Practice.
How was exercise for you?
Did you have trouble coming up with items to add to your list?
Were you overwhelmed because you had too many items to add?
If you were to make a list one week from now, how do you want that list to be different from the one you just made?
Take notes or journal for seven minutes on how engaging with others’ art nourishes your heart, soul, mind, body, and creative practice.
