Letting go in my art journal
You are not to do anything to be happy. In fact you have done too much to become unhappy. If you want to be unhappy, do too much. If you want to be happy, allow things, allow things to be. Rest, relax, and be in a letgo. Letgo is the secret of life. Letgo is the secret of religion. Letgo is the greatest secret. When you are in a letgo many things, millions of things, start happening. They were already happening but you were never aware.

The two best ways I know how to unwind and “letgo” are by painting & my daily meditating practice. Not necessarily in that order.
Sometimes I have to meditate to get the gunk out of my head before I paint, and other times I paint first to slow my mind down, so I can focus better on my breathing while meditating.
What daily practices do you use? I’d love to hear in the comments.
