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 UA-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 😁
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
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.
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
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 UA-camr in my own sketchbook has helped and made things more bareable for me. Thank you, Tamara.
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 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.
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.
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 😊
Thank you for reminding me how much doodling helps me think, calm down and feel overall serenity. It also helps me focus! I don’t doodle like I used to now that smart phones have happened and I really missed it. We doodle similar doodles and watching you made me really get my butt in gear and just do it 🙏🏻 Thank you!!
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!)
This is really cool! I like this idea because I tend to get overwhelmed trying to draw detailed pictures or just staring at a whole blank page and feeling overwhelmed, and this creates a great structure to just play with lots of small designs
Thanks for sharing this activity. I did this earlier and it was refreshing, to take time out to draw and be present. I added colours to some doodles. The resulting page is like having a mini wall of art!
somehow when I try to do this on my own, I just stare at the paper with this inner feeling as though my head is being pressed from within and into within at the same time, and this sensation always reminds me of panic attacks. I know that it can have a calming effect on some people, but for me this technique just makes my anxiety levels perk up.
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 love the fact that this gorgeous piece of art can be done with like 2 cheap markers. This video proves that you don’t need so much expensive non affordable supplies to make art 😊
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.
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😂😂

1k likes and only 2 replies let me fix that....
@@Yuvi_01234 thanks for reminding....me who dont even know i got 1k likes 😀😂

It looks good but I will have a mental break down just by thinking which design I should draw 😭
same bro🥹
Us bro us😢
Same 💀
Same 😢
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💀

Step 1: Be extremely good at art
Step 2: Don’t be a perfectionist
Step 3: Draw the most gorgeous thing ever

@@raes9374 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰thank you for saying that sometimes we need to hear this
The whole point is that anyone can do it. She's drawing extremely simple designs that literally went person can do.....

Maybe try it first. You can try it while in a more creative or relaxed mood
this could be a beautiful journal design cover
These are some fantastic bullet journal decorators.
Disclaimer: it works if you’re an artist already
What i was thinking too 🤔 😢
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.

Love this. Tamara has a wonderful creative mind and skills to unleash it.
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.
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 🙂
So soothing ❤
I did similar drawings back in the school,it calmed my stress down during lessons i had problems to keep up
my mind would be steaming about what to draw next in each box 😂
Definitely soothing to me
I made it and found satisfying😌
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 :)
This is so awesome 🎉I truly appreciated that I resonated and even felted at ease while watching it
😮.how perfect and smooth her rectangles was
The pen stand💀💀

?
@beginning pf the video, look at where she gets the pen
her name is so pretty that i ended up naming one of my fantasy book charecter Tamara.
It means lotus in sanskrit
@@A_rundhathi_u r Indian too
?😮
Would like to read your book Rin San!
@@nitishadhwariya8090 Owh its nothing interesting but thanks! I wish you could.

Incredibly calming indeed 😍
You have a lot patience 😌
I love this idea!! Thank you for sharing!!
Simply beautiful!! ❤❤❤
This looks so calming!! Hehe
absolutely amazing 👍♥️
Really ❤❤
Thank you for posting this fantastic video.
Wowwwww❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😮😮😮🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love the added touch of the brush pen!
This beat is 🔥 for improv
Oooooo, this is so good! Thanks for sharing this!
Love the idea and music
These were my favourite designs illustrations thanks for the reminder.❤
Dude its soo... satisfying to watch only😊
Wow thank you for sharing 🙏☀️
That pen stand is cool
such a good idea! It's very zentangly!
What a lovely drawing 🤩🤩🤩
😊
Great doodle ideas! I would like to try this as like a design.
I am speechless 😊😊
Omg I love your pen holder!!
Thanks for such a nice idea ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
After I completed this, I felt start craving to perfect painting on each designs with anxiety.
Wow beautiful doodle! Will try 👏👏👏
I would love this as an accent wall.
So pretty. Beautiful enough to frame.
I'm going to do this. Looks fun and soothing. 😊
Thank you for reminding me how much doodling helps me think, calm down and feel overall serenity.
It also helps me focus!
I don’t doodle like I used to now that smart phones have happened and I really missed it.
We doodle similar doodles and watching you made me really get my butt in gear and just do it 🙏🏻
Thank you!!
wow! that looks great.
Dude this is genius art
It's look like a Doodle...🥰
Zentangle, very relaxing
Love this idea thank you!!
Great idea! Will try this tomorrow. Thanks :)
I learned to doodle from my Dad…I used to do it at work while on long phone calls.
As someone who dislikes drawing, I can't think of anything worse or more stressful!
i’ll for sure do this❤❤❤❤
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!)
For someone Who has depression (me) this will help a lot thx ☺️
Wow so beautiful
I love your channel, it’s so creative and so genius!! 🌹🦋🦄
Love this.. therapeutic art ❤❤❤
This is really cool! I like this idea because I tend to get overwhelmed trying to draw detailed pictures or just staring at a whole blank page and feeling overwhelmed, and this creates a great structure to just play with lots of small designs
Def I’ll try this 🙏🏻
Thats is so cute I love stuff like this ❤
Thank u soo much! It helped me alot!!!
Research ke hisaab se aisa krne se stress Kam hota hoga ..
But mene practical Kiya toh pata chala isse aur stress badhta hai .. 🙂
😂 ye sab karke artist logo ko relief milta hai normal logo ko nahi 😂
Beautifully done
Thanks for sharing this activity. I did this earlier and it was refreshing, to take time out to draw and be present. I added colours to some doodles.
The resulting page is like having a mini wall of art!
Wow! Im not artistic, but i think i could do that. Thank you❤
somehow when I try to do this on my own, I just stare at the paper with this inner feeling as though my head is being pressed from within and into within at the same time, and this sensation always reminds me of panic attacks. I know that it can have a calming effect on some people, but for me this technique just makes my anxiety levels perk up.
That's beautiful
Needed this :’)
I’d have to do this in a relaxed day cuz making this many designs and coming with the shapes of the rectangles just ups my anxiety
it almost gave me anxiety that the boxes were touching until the drop shadows were added
Love this idea❤
Even watching this helps so much
Amazing. I can relate. I have been a doodler since I was able to write in school. It eases my mind.
Wow stunning 😍 👌🏻
i love that idea
So relaxing
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.
Perfect, thank you so much
Love this. brb making my own
I love the fact that this gorgeous piece of art can be done with like 2 cheap markers. This video proves that you don’t need so much expensive non affordable supplies to make art 😊
Beautiful!!!! 😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
What a great idea, even if one doesn't need to slow their minds down! I'm trying it tonight, with colours too!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! Going to try right now before I have to dive into work!
These are exactly what I like to doodle most of the time
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.
