I feel you! Maybe it helps if we don't fill it with a design but with a color (I think chosing a color takes less mental energy than coming up with a design)
The designs don’t have to be perfect. No one needs to ever see them. They don’t need to be different in each square. Just do spirals to the middle in each one until you want to do something else. It’s like learning to journal. At first you just write, even if you write: “I’m writing this but I don’t know what to say. I’ll do one more sentence in this paragraph. “Here’s a new paragraph. I still don’t know what to write.” Eventually the mind loosens up. That’s all you want. Good luck!
For those of you with decision fatigue/anxiety: If you don't know what to draw, sometimes just putting paint on paper with no design/plan is very therapeutic.
@@ayselewandowskalisten to Ellen Langer’s TH-cam … Mindfulness expert 40yrs Harvard Prof… she said If you worry about a decision being right… make the decision right! In other words just say this is the right decision and it will be because you have made it so. Her Book The Mindful Body is awesome! Cheers
@@ayselewandowskaYou have to find out about the reason for your decision fatigue and anxiety. There is always a reason. Mostly it has got something to do with childhood trauma.
For those of you saying "I'll get more worked up thinking of new designs" You can just randomly doodle instead or if you have color pencils or markers you can do the same design multiple times with different colors or even just color in the boxes a solid color :)
this works with blobs and circles just as well :) you dont even need the blobs! it can be a freestyle zen tangle if you draw a bunch of lines at random on the page and then use the negative space to draw your doodles in. or you can always just draw ugly boxes and trust that itll be okay anyways 😁
I am an artist and still all I see is more for my mind to over think in this situation 😂 which pattern next, which pattern should go where and no that patteren doesn't look right beside that one. OCD and the perfectionist show their face and to hell with not over thinking, now not a clue what was I doing this for in the first place 😂
I'm not an artist at all, but I do this sometimes. My designs look terrible, more random geometric shapes than cute plants like in the video. But that's not really the point - it keeps my hands busy while I'm in a boring meeting so my mind can focus on what I'm hearing.
everyones saying that they would stress out about the designs, I would stress about drawing the boxes perfect bonus points for stressing bout finding the right pen and paper aswell
There's no shame in the ruler/stencil game if you want perfect rectangles/squares. Graph paper/dotted bullet paper could also help you help yourself drawing free-hand. There's no rules anywhere that you have to be perfect and draw beautiful things only in order to draw. Plus, it's for your mental health so no one needs to see it. If it turns out good enough you want to share it- fine. No pressure though, you make the rules and hold all the cards ❤🎉
@user-gh1pj3tr5t do you know any women with undiscovered ADHD may sound simple to you much harder in minds. Perfectionism is what you are reading and knowing we can not do it is harder. Officially wasn't told ADHD till 5 yrs ago. Simple things aren't so simple
@@guppy0536ADHD is a superpower! Yay you! You can do many many things others cannot do…. Change the story you tell yourself, that you can’t do things…. tell you self you can do these things! … Cheers
I am grieving the loss of my fiance who passed away last week. These drawing videos have been helping me cope with his loss. It's excruciating and painful to live without him... drawing and folowing along with this TH-camr in my own sketchbook has helped and made things more bareable for me. Thank you, Tamara.
Meanwhile just looking at this short I feel frustrated and inadequate because there's no way mine would go that well 😂 Everyone says "practice makes perfect" but no matter how many years I spend drawing I'm never getting much better at precision and easily mess things up.
It makes me anxious just thinking about drawing boxes while anxious. I don’t draw, so doing so while anxious would make me hyper fixate and make my anxiety way worse. I wish this could work for me! It looks beautiful!
I absolutely love how accessable this is. I've always had a creative itch but I'm not creative and don't have any creative skills. I'm extremely cognitive and haven't ever been to unload like this. This is exactly what I needed.
Reminds me of the old "Zentangles" books. Funny how you can reframe "doodling" into a mindfulness/mental heath practice. (Not being sarcastic - really! From small things, mama, big things one day come!)
I'm a writer and I can relate to "naming your characters after random people you found on the internet" 😂 but Tamara is actually a name that exists in Arabic 😊
yall - if you can't draw boxes, draw circles. if you can't draw circles, draw triangles. if you don't like those, draw squiggles. then connect them and you will have random shapes. then fill them in with color pens or pencils. sometimes I just focus on randomizing the colors on my doodles to keep one color from touching the other. the point is to shut of your mind to negativity. it really works!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one this stressed out. Haha I feel like drawing different sized squares and rectangles would do me in. But you never know! I find spirals to be relaxing though.
This is so good. I don’t know these advanced designs, but I can draw a single line difference ways: Snake, zig zag, swirl, circle, loop, etc. And shapes of course. Even random emojis.

I'll get more worked up thinking of new designs to make in each box😭
I feel you! Maybe it helps if we don't fill it with a design but with a color (I think chosing a color takes less mental energy than coming up with a design)
literally i was thinking ""oo filling in boxes w color seems v relaxing!!"
then she said to draw in designs and i was like "naaauurr"
😂😂😂

That’s the good part of it. Try random ideas. It doesn’t have to be perfect. You should enjoy it.
Me..who dont even know these many designs exists😂😂

It looks good but I will have a mental break down just by thinking which design I should draw 😭

Us bro us😢

Do some lines, dots, squares... This exercise isn't a design test
For those of you with decision fatigue/anxiety: If you don't know what to draw, sometimes just putting paint on paper with no design/plan is very therapeutic.
Anyone has an idea on how to get rid of this decision fatigue/anxiety?

exactly bro people never understand the intention, they only see whats done!!!
Nah i would get worked up over not getting the shape perfect instead 💀
LMAO
This lady always knows how to satisfy her viewers 💕

True❤
Can anyone tell me which sketch pen she used??
I'll end up getting more angry realising that I can't even draw boxes💀

Your music. Your drawings. So clear and calm. Bless you.
Step 1: Be extremely good at art
Step 2: Don’t be a perfectionist
Step 3: Draw the most gorgeous thing ever

Maybe try it first. You can try it while in a more creative or relaxed mood
this could be a beautiful journal design cover
Love this. Tamara has a wonderful creative mind and skills to unleash it.
Wowwwww❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Definitely soothing to me
My mind was actually more emptied and at peace with the empty boxes rather than the filled ones. The end result is a lot for my mind to take in.
Hats off to the artist 🙂
Wow thank you for sharing 🙏☀️
Lovely meditation
I absolutely love how accessable this is. I've always had a creative itch but I'm not creative and don't have any creative skills. I'm extremely cognitive and haven't ever been to unload like this. This is exactly what I needed.
So soothing ❤
my mind would be steaming about what to draw next in each box 😂
These are some fantastic bullet journal decorators.
This beat is 🔥 for improv
Simply beautiful!! ❤❤❤
I did similar drawings back in the school,it calmed my stress down during lessons i had problems to keep up

The pen stand💀💀

I am speechless 😊😊
Thank you for posting this fantastic video.
It probably wouldn't help me clear my mind to do it myself but it was very relaxing to watch!! Would also enjoy a long version of it :)
I made it and found satisfying😌
I love this idea!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks for such a nice idea ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊

As someone who dislikes drawing, I can't think of anything worse or more stressful!
Super drawing

That pen stand is cool

Don’t worry about what design to make, look up doodle designs and pick ones that look easy and fun and don’t overthink what goes where if you can ❤
Fantastic idea ❤❤
I'm going to do this. Looks fun and soothing. 😊
Dude this is genius art
Its awesome
Omg I love your pen holder!!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one this stressed out. Haha I feel like drawing different sized squares and rectangles would do me in. But you never know! I find spirals to be relaxing though.
This is good for people with anxiety

Great doodle ideas! I would like to try this as like a design.
