Painting my nails helps me to slow down, to be present, focus my attention, express myself creatively and to practice self care. There was a time once that I really struggled to be still, and painting my nails became not only a hobby but a creative outlet. It quickly turned into a passion that kickstarted my online creation journey, 15 years ago now! And while I only paint my nails every week or so these days (it used to be every day!) I still love to play with this form of art and mindfulness. Anything that can help us to focus our attention is a practice in mindfulness - the art of being here. #slowliving #creativeliving #mindfulliving #selfcare #nails #nailart
