The Start of the 10-Minute Mandala Series

I’m sharing this quick mandala sketch because I wanted to get back into drawing but without the pressure of doing a full channeled piece.

I set my timer for 10 minutes, kept my dimensions small (5x5cm which may be too small in retrospect), and simply drew for the sake of drawing.

Lately, the more time that flies past me, the more I keep coming back to this message of carving a few minutes for yourself to do something for yourself with zero intention behind it.

Not doing something because you have to, it’s part of your job or side hussle, or having to share to remain relevant.

Simply you and whatever it is that fills up your cup, because we are so busy doing this and that, and a lot of the time we’re last on that long to do list.

Maybe for you it’s simply drawing, like it is for me. Perhaps it’s having some tea outside in the quiet, maybe it’s finally reading one fucking chapter of that book you keep meaning to finally read. Whatever it is, spend 10 minutes with yourself for yourself.

This mandala was what started my 10-Minute Mandala series. See more of those here.
