INTRO
( aka FADE INTRO )
Zen music is playing softly in the background
What day is it again? Friday? No, it's actually Thursday but this dino has other plans for tomorrow.
( Almost ) another week has passed and - as us humans are keeping track of time - that simple fact is something worth mentioning.
Little Hyper has been a little distracted and a little hyper in the last 6 days for reasons that won't be mentioned on the blockchain.
I guess you could say that your favorite raptor hasn't been very mindful, aside from daily walks in nature, and that he feels like getting some kind of meditation routine going, once again. Perhaps this curation will serve as a springboard towards a more mindful state, once again.
Before we move on to a bunch of people who I recommend following, instead of the news, first make sure to
take a deep breath in...
hold your breath for a couple of seconds...
and let the air out with a sigh.
If that felt good, feel free to repeat the process.
If it didn't, you should probably do a lot more mindful breathing ;<)
I really enjoyed this little mindful story called The Greatest Artist in the World, describing a magical moment during an evening stroll.
and also recommend you read: The Root of Happiness
Although this information isn't entirely new for me, I still feel it's a message worth sharing.
Here, @comingalive talks about trying not to let your happiness depend on other people / outside sources and of being your own cheerleader, among other things.
And then my eyes fell upon @laurabell's Artwork of Moon Cycle and Poem
It's clear from this write up that she reached the point where she was fed up with what others expected of her - a struggle I'm sure many can relate to - She couldn't take it any more and had to express herself and this eventually led to amazing work:

@badfinger decided to write about OCD
This is something Little Hyper can pretty easily relate to ( especially thought wise ) but let's be honest, this lizard has been looking for some kind of label his entire life. If others would just get him...
The main reason I decided to share this post is the link with meditation and thought control
( no not brainwashing, that's what the government does )
The first thing you need to understand is you can't control your thoughts. So don't dwell on that. If you try more and more to control the thoughts inside your brain you state will become worse. And there is no sense in stopping these thoughts coming.

On the Bench - 30 min Speedpaint
I connected with @kristyglas a couple of days ago, after she left the following comment on my blog:
Sometimes I draw little monsters and it definitely helps get rid of negative emotions xD
Tell me, how can a dino ignore somebody who creates monsters?
She draws dragons too. Nuff said. We're family.
Let's wrap things up with this little post on waterfalls and the mindfulness that we can find in the dance between water, rocks and gravity:
The incomparable Pleasure of Seeing the Waterfall
Until next time and make sure to stay safe, sane and ZEN!
