by Kristen One of the things I struggle with most is MINDFULNESS. I am always thinking about 10,000 things - even when I am having fun and enjoying myself, I still have my internal monologue reminding me of what I need to accomplish or a conversation I had three years ago. Mindfulness has a lot of benefits for our overall mental health. However, figuring out how to be mindful is different for everyone - there is no “one size fits all” approach. Some use apps, some do yoga, others color - it really just depends what helps a person be focused on the moment. One thing I like to do to help with mindfulness is Zentangle. Zentangling is easy - you just draw random designs, while remaining focused on what you’re doing. You don’t have to be great at drawing in order to do it. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you practice mindfulness through Zentangling. If you make a Zentangle, share it with us in the comments below! And don't miss our Teen-made DIY tutorials here. Remember, you can submit your own tutorials through our submission portal. Happy doodling! The City Library encourages a respectful and focused dialogue on blog posts.
