It’s easy to lose touch with your creative side. But creativity is a way to connect with yourself, express your emotions, and find peace. Today, I want to guide you through a creative exercise inspired by the natural world, designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and create something meaningful.
Picture yourself standing at the edge of a forest. The air is cool and fresh, carrying the faint scent of pine, moss, and wildflowers.

During those nine months, I self-published my very first journal, a heartfelt combination of prompts, affirmations, and mandala-inspired coloring pages centered around the energy centers of the body.
