Spill the colors. Smear the lines. Let it be wrong and keep going. Mess is not failure — it is permission. The part of you that needs everything to be perfect is not in charge today.
This prompt has no agenda. Let yourself be surprised by what you make.
Before you begin
Body check-in
01
Use your non-dominant hand for at least one mark.
02
If you catch yourself being serious, add something absurd.
03
The goal is not a good outcome. The goal is to enjoy the process.
These are invitations, not instructions. Take what is useful.
While you work
Sit with these
01
When did you last feel genuinely, unselfconsciously joyful?
02
What gets in the way of you playing more?
03
What would you make if no one would ever see it?
You do not have to answer these. Let them sit beside you while you work.
After you finish
A moment of closing
01Look at what you made
Not to judge it. Just to see it. What is there that you did not expect?
02Notice how you feel
Different from when you started? The same? Neither is wrong. Just notice.
03Acknowledge yourself
You showed up. You made something. That is the whole practice. That is enough.
