I am an overthinker. Sometimes. For those who know, you might understand how exhausting this can be. To constantly keep your brain plugged in and wondering about a million things. Most of them out of your control.
I realised this "amazing" talent of mine years ago and I started to tame it down. Through hobbies. One of my hobbies is making art. Painting, drawing, sketching, facepainting. Anything which puts a brush or a pencil/pen in my hand will do the trick. My brain is taking a break and doesn't even know it. I trick him into believing that it's going to keep functioning at high capacity....but art does quite the opposite. It puts my brain into a state of complete relaxation while using it in the same time. What an ingenious way of my brain finding a way to relax itself... Through itself.
Now I am already 16 hours in into this drawing. Pointillism art is fun. This tiny butterfly is slowly coming to life, I am giving him wings to fly. Dot by dot.

I am always amazed by nature and what it can do. The work of art which a butterfly is should be appreciated like a painting in a museum. Can you imagine how diverse is the world of insects and the entire divine technology behind these little creatures? Drawing them hours and hours would still not come close to their natural beauty.
Look for a butterfly in a park, in your garden and stare at it. Observe its beauty. Appreciate it. We all should do this more often. True beauty is sometimes right in our faces. We just have to pause our modern lives and take a moment to notice it.
Have an extraordinary day and toodle loo!

Ooft, that is mighty in the detail.
I find I get lost and quite relaxed when I play guitar, in fact it's something I do when I have a runny nose because it takes my mind off it so much that it often stops!
Oh lovely! I tried to play guitar in highschool but my fingers hurt lol. I dream about a drum set later on, would love to make lots of noise🥁😂
I have been dreaming of a drum set for years now. Bloody children poor a temporary hold on my drum dreams.
The pain in the fingers goes away quite quickly :0D
You got used to it. It is only natural you find it relaxing after a lot of practice
Very beautiful work... I totally agree with looking around us and noticing/appreciating everything that surrounds us 💙🙏
Thank you😊Gratitude should be a daily exercise

I like drawing but I can’t do this artistic work. I have a plan learning this art. Amazing work done by you. Thanks.
Thank you😊
Now that you mention it, I haven't seen a butterfly in a long time.
Well you might try to spot one in a forest or in a more natural environment with lots of flowers and plants
I might also spot some animal shit and more mosquitoes than I ever imagined lol
😂
I feel you on the overthinking part. Sometimes it's no joke that you have to really find something to distract your brain. But what an amazing and great drawing you did there!😊
Thank you😊 The power of the brain must be used properly. A hobby is a great way of doing that
Yes so true indeed 😊
I can really say that art can work as a really great mind realxing agent for a overthinker. As I am one too, and I know how much it helps us to put our mind in place. Dots are really time consuming, beautiful work.
Thank you😊 It is time consuming, but it gets my brain to cool off
I love creating pointillism drawings or at least including the technique in something, but my hands kill me by the end of the work!
This one is looking amazing!
Yeah! It will probably be finished after 30 hours more or less. Can't wait for my butterfly to fly
This is incredible, and so neat!
:D As an overthinker I'm the opposite, a bit more jittery and impatient haha.
This definitely! I've found more peace and calm in appreciating the nature especially clouds.
Clouds are awesome too😍
