Doodling for Stress Reduction

 

On Mondays via Zoom, I participate in a class where we spend a half an hour doodling our stress away. 

The suggestion for this class started with a neurographic scribble and then to fill in the counterspaces with doodles. The facilitator said she was thinking of the Summer Solstice.

We are always free to interpret the instructions as we wish. My head was buried in my suitcase as I was getting ready to leave on my trip to Maine. I was filling the spaces with doodles of things I see and do on the trip. It's still a work in progress.

  1. That's lovely and evocative of summer holidays. Beware the sea gulls and guard your ice cream.

    1. I always get ice cream in a dish or if the shop has them a waffle bowl. Just so the ice cream doesn't end up on my shoes

  2. I remember (from a MILLION years ago!) doing this on wax paper in Sunday school to make 'stained glass windows'.

    1. I'm glad you said seagull. One of my classmates thought it was a penguin. The penguin would work, too.🤣
