Stick figure skeletons (Patreon)
#Doodles#UT#Papyrus#Sans#Cutest little lads#I had a good handful of stick figures of them from my 2015/2016 notebook and it really is a cute style#Y'know funny enough now that I think of it lol - Those doodles were also in December!#(I'm tagging these in December still lol hi from the past)#It's that Undertale time of year <3 Apparently I first found it Dec. 17th 2015 hehe#A little late to the party! But not terribly so ♪ And I had managed to avoid spoilers up to that point lol#I do still have some vague memories of watching it for the first time#I watched a Pacifist run first and cried - of course#And then watched a Genocide run soon after and cried even more#I remember being very confused as to what the Fight timing option even was the first time I saw it lol#Since in Pacifist you can go the entire time without even accidentally using it! You can ACT or ITEM instead#It's interesting to think back on such a huge shift in culture on the broadscale#And also a personal milestone :) Something that tipped the scales!#Something that even now I'm grateful for and think of fondly ♥#And it's all still fun to draw! What more could I ask for haha#I think with this super-simple style in particular I like making their designs complement each other#So Papyrus is all stick lines and Sans has thicker bones#Papyrus' eyes are upright and Sans' are laid flat haha#They both have circle heads to start tho! Papyrus just gets a rectangle grafted on for his jaw lol#They're easy to pose together like this too!#It's fun and silly ♪ Just how I like :D

Hello :D
Goofy Magpie here to ask about your art process! Do you have any tips on how you do your sketching and/or rendering process? I hope this isn’t bothering you or anything but I really like your art and want to know how to do stuff like it ya know cause it’s cool and amazing
Also what art program do you use?
Well, hello! It is pretty hard to answer, just because I sometimes change the way that I do things, but I'll try my best to explain!
Everything is under the cut!!
Firstly, I use PaintToolSai2 :D
I try not to think a lot about line art. Most of the time, I do a very rough sketch from the basic forms and start making the character over it, like this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have no idea how this circle just became this line art without any sketches; it just happens
Sometimes it helps to do an overly-detailed sketch, like the skull with eyeballs, to make a good form of eyes
I highly recommend not overthink sketches and line art. If you think that something is wrong, leave your art for some time (20 mins is enough for me) and then look at it again (or send it to your friend and ask what is off)
I like to add a pack of short lines on the clothes beside the foldings, it can fill in the empty space
Tumblr media
It is really helpful to mirror you work at some point. Please, if you see a mistake when you flip canvas, correct it, even if you will have to change everything in your art. I was scared of it at first, but then it started to come in handy
For the clothes PLEASE USE REFERENCES, they are very helpful
I always try to make lines not straight, but curvy. This can add some flow to clothes or show that human bodies are not flat figures
Tumblr media
Then I do basic colours (With the background to pick colours correctly!!!!)
Tumblr media
My colour palette mostly is not in the same range of colours (Like yellow - orange - red), which might become a problem if you don't know colour theory (I definitely do not know it).
And then I do shading with the same colour as base one on multiply layer and lighting with colours lighter than base on screen or shine layer (And I do not like that part, because most of the time I'm messing things up, but if it looks okay, it's fine)
I also sometimes colour the line art. Most of the time I choose colour more saturated and darker than the base ones, but there are still cases where contrasting lines are better!!!!
Tumblr media
I do not like render at all, but of course I really recommend you to do it only because rendering does this:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Render is really only picking colours, mixing them and then doing line with darkest one, it is not my strong side (There is a channel on Youtube called Bluebiscuits, there are a lot of helpful advises for this ^ type of art)
Also I think that for rendering is useful to look at other artists works! They can have some techniques that can make your work prettier (I personally had no idea about textures on the art works before one artist and now it helps me do these finishing touches sometimes that are necessary)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that this post is not that mush useful, just because I use the same techniques as the rest of the people, these advises are pretty common, but they saved me lots of nerves when I started this drawing-every-day thing
I do not do something very unique or extraordinary with my arts and style :P Just have fun and do whatever you want and remember: If it looks cool, it works
Have a great day!!

Your animations are so awesome and smooth, what steps did you take to get to the skill level ur at now? If that makes sense ^^
Aw!! Well thank you. I wish I had more time & focus to... well, actually finish them! They'd look a lot better fully animated, lol.
As for steps... I guess I just immersed myself in a lot of animation from a very young age at first? I used to spend a lot of time on Newgrounds, I watched a lot of youtuber animations... Filmcow & Egoraptor were big inspos for me as a kid. Eddsworld and Happy Tree Friends too. I think digesting material that inspires you is essential.
Studying life and how things move, function, look, and work are also important. I really like to make emotions and actions feel as real as they can while still giving that extra flare that animation allows for. I've always been a listener more than a talker in real life, and as such I think it gives me more time to focus on how people look and act while they're busy communicating, or doing whatever else.
I also think letting yourself experiment with your own techniques is very important. Taking inspiration from favored animations is one thing, that is how you can learn, but also trying out & constructing your own methods is also important for workflow. Also, sometimes a chosen method you use just becomes uniquely yours, and becomes better with time the more you work at it. I feel like I have a pretty specific way of animating body language & movement. I'd call it theatrical to an extent. It's something I always wished I could see more of in animation so I've spent a lot of time trying to get it right.
I also started from a very young age, like 8 or 9? Maybe older or younger, I can't quite remember. But most importantly it just takes time to teach yourself. Research always, and know that time will pass no matter what, so you might as well start learning now if you want to make something great one day! I'm still working towards that myself.

Can't afford art school?
After seeing post like this 👇
Tumblr media
And this gem 👇
Tumblr media
As well as countless of others from the AI generator community. Just talking about how "inaccessible art" is, I decided why not show how wrong these guys are while also helping anyone who actually wants to learn.
Here is the first one ART TEACHERS! There are plenty online and in places like youtube.
📺Here is my list:
Proko (Free, mostly teaches anatomy and how to draw people. But does have art talks and teaches the basics.)
Marc Brunet (Free but he does have other classes for a cheap price. Use to work for Blizzard and teaches you everything)
Aaron Rutten (free, tips about art, talks about art programs and the best products for digital art)
BoroCG (free, teaches a verity of art mediums from 3D modeling to digital painting. As well as some tips that can be used across styles)
Jesse J. Jones (free, talks about animating)
Jesus Conde (free, teaches digital painting and has classes in Spanish)
Mohammed Agbadi (free, he gives some advice in some videos and talks about art)
Ross Draws (free, he does have other classes for a good price. Mostly teaching character designs and simple backgrounds.)
SamDoesArts (free, gives good advice and critiques)
Drawfee Show (free, they do give some good advice and great inspiration)
The Art of Aaron Blaise ( useful tips for digital art and animation. Was an animator for Disney. Mostly nature art)
Bobby Chiu ( useful tips and interviews with artist who are in the industry or making a living as artist)
Sinix Design (has some tips on drawing people)
Winged canvas (art school for free on a verity of mediums)
Bob Ross (just a good time, learn how to paint, as well as how too relax when doing art. "there are no mistakes only happy accidents", this channel also provides tips from another artist)
Scott Christian Sava (Inspiration and provides tips and advice)
Pikat (art advice and critiques)
Drawbox (a suggested cheap online art school, made of a community of artist)
Skillshare (A cheap learning site that has art classes ranging from traditional to digital. As well as Animation and tutorials on art programs. All under one price, in the USA it's around $34 a month)
Human anatomy for artist (not a video or teacher but the site is full of awesome refs to practice and get better at anatomy)
Second part BOOKS, I have collected some books that have helped me and might help others.
📚Here is my list:
The "how to draw manga" series produced by Graphic-sha. These are for manga artist but they give great advice and information.
"Creating characters with personality" by Tom Bancroft. A great book that can help not just people who draw cartoons but also realistic ones. As it helps you with facial ques and how to make a character interesting.
"Albinus on anatomy" by Robert Beverly Hale and Terence Coyle. Great book to help someone learn basic anatomy.
"Artistic Anatomy" by Dr. Paul Richer and Robert Beverly Hale. A good book if you want to go further in-depth with anatomy.
"Directing the story" by Francis Glebas. A good book if you want to Story board or make comics.
"Animal Anatomy for Artists" by Eliot Goldfinger. A good book for if you want to draw animals or creatures.
"Constructive Anatomy: with almost 500 illustrations" by George B. Bridgman. A great book to help you block out shadows in your figures and see them in a more 3 diamantine way.
"Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and expand" by Burne Hogarth. A book that shows how to block out shapes and easily understand what you are looking out. When it comes to human subjects.
"An Atlas of animal anatomy for artist" by W. Ellenberger and H. Dittrich and H. Baum. This is another good one for people who want to draw animals or creatures.
Etherington Brothers, they make books and have a free blog with art tips.
📝As for Supplies, I recommend starting out cheap, buying Pencils and art paper at dollar tree or 5 below. If you want to go fancy Michaels is always a good place for traditional supplies. They also get in some good sales and discounts. For digital art, I recommend not starting with a screen art drawing tablet as they are usually more expensive.
For the Best art Tablet I recommend either Xp-pen, Bamboo or Huion. Some can range from about 40$ to the thousands.
💻As for art programs here is a list of Free to pay.
Clip Studio paint ( you can choose to pay once or sub and get updates. Galaxy, Windows, macOS, iPad, iPhone, Android, or Chromebook device. )
Procreate ( pay once for $9.99 usd, IPAD & IPHONE ONLY)
Blender (for 3D modules/sculpting, animation and more. Free)
PaintTool SAI (pay but has a 31 day free trail)
Krita (Free)
mypaint (free)
FireAlpaca (free)
Aseprite ($19.99 usd but has a free trail, for pixel art Windows & macOS)
Drawpile (free and for if you want to draw with others)
IbisPaint (free, phone app ONLY)
Medibang (free, IPAD, Android and PC)
NOTE: Some of these can work on almost any computer like Clip and Sai but others will require a bit stronger computer like Blender. Please check their sites for if your computer is compatible.
So do with this information as you will but as you can tell there are ways to learn how to become an artist, without breaking the bank. The only thing that might be stopping YOU from using any of these things, is YOU.
I have made time to learn to draw and many artist have too. Either in-between working two jobs or taking care of your family and a job or regular school and chores. YOU just have to take the time or use some time management, it really doesn't take long to practice for like an hour or less. YOU also don't have to do it every day, just once or three times a week is fine.
Hope this was helpful and have a great day.
"also apologies for any spelling or grammar errors, I have Dyslexia and it makes my brain go XP when it comes to speech or writing"

Embracing the Bohemian Spirit in Your Home
The main goal of bohemian interior design, or "Boho" as it is affectionately known, is to create a room that expresses your individuality and taste. This fashion statement honors uniqueness, inventiveness, and a carefree, easygoing way of living. I explore the core of bohemian design in my book Simple Interior Design (A Bohemian Interior Design Book), which is currently available on Amazon. I also provide helpful, inspirational advice on how to turn your house into a bohemian haven.
The Roots of Bohemian Style Bohemian style has a rich history, originating from the free-spirited lifestyle of artists and creatives in 19th-century Europe. It’s characterized by a mix of vibrant colors, eclectic patterns, and a blend of old and new elements. The beauty of Boho is that there are no strict rules. Instead, it’s about what feels right for you and your space.
Tumblr media
Creating a Bohemian Sanctuary One of the key aspects of Boho decor is personal expression. My book emphasizes that your home should be a reflection of who you are. To start, focus on incorporating elements that bring you joy. This could be anything from a vintage rug that tells a story, to a collection of your favorite books, or a piece of art that resonates with you.
Incorporating natural elements is also crucial. Plants, wooden furniture, and natural fibers like jute and cotton not only enhance the Boho aesthetic but also bring a sense of tranquility and connection to nature.
The Role of Art in Bohemian Interiors Art plays a significant role in Boho interiors. Whether it’s a handcrafted piece, a family heirloom, or a DIY project, art adds character and a personal touch to your space. My book provides tips on selecting and displaying art in a way that enhances the overall Boho vibe.
Bringing It All Together Achieving a harmonious Boho look involves balancing different elements. Mixing patterns, layering textiles, and playing with textures can create a visually rich and inviting space. Remember, the goal is to create a home that feels warm, welcoming, and uniquely yours.
To learn more about creating your own Bohemian haven, read more on Kindle Unlimited or get your copy of Simple Interior Design: A Boho Interior Design Book on Amazon and please leave a review! Follow me on Instagram. 🙂

I think people are over estimating how much vocab you need for poetry btw.
Here is a poem
毎日、起きる
毎晩、寝る
おなじおなじおなじ
(Every Day, I wake up/Every Night, I sleep/thesamethesamethesame)
You can make a poem with really basic words and phrases. You don’t need full sentences, you don’t need an extensive vocabulary, you don’t need to understand complex grammar concepts.
You can definitely write poetry in your target language, and this post is now a challenge.
WRITE SOME SHITTY POETRY RIGHT NOW.
IT CAN TAKE LESS THAN A MINUTE.
(I even used my limited knowledge on Japanese writing to make an artistic choice! I put “同じ” in kana instead of kanji to give it a running-together effect.)
I loooove writing terrible poetry in my target languages. This is borderline incomprehensible and grammatically fucked? No, no, you misunderstand, it’s a
✨stylistic choice✨

Light breaks the news to Misa that he's leaving forever. Eh, Rem's cautiously happy.
Previous
Influences below.
Script/behavior references inspired by/stolen from Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends:
Light's stream of shut ups are from "Dinner is Swerved." I can't find a direct link to that specific clip. It's when Mac and Bloo steal Duchess's bedsheets and mattress so they can safely escape out a window, and Bloo just quickly repeats shut up to her over and over to prevent any argument. I have Light use that same strategy to keep Misa from objecting.
Misa's disbelief is inspired by Bloo's at the end of this clip from "Everyone Knows it’s Bendy": link

Tumblr media
Thinking about the big and burly behemoth Omega finally finding himself the cutest little Alpha to breed with…
He could never bring himself to breed with Alphas. Growing up, he developed a great disdain for them—all high and mighty rabid animals prone to violence, more often than not completely dimwitted to top it off, as if their massive ego had usurped the place of basic brain operation.
He couldn’t hate them more, yet he doesn’t correct anyone when they mistake him for one, either. In many ways, he wished he was born one instead of an Omega. It would make it easier to fulfill his desires that way. A dominant Omega isn’t all that normal, after all—and submissive Alphas are an even rarer breed to come by.
He hadn't found one yet. And other Omegas don’t really do it for him. They approach him, thinking he’s an Alpha, then feel disappointed when figuring out he’s not—which is fine, as he isn’t particularly interested in their scent either. Betas make for an okay compromise—they don’t care if he’s an Omega, it makes no difference to them—yet he could never really shake the feeling that something was missing when lying with them.
At the office, the scent of Alphas plagues him all day—how they strut around, stinking up the place with no concern for anyone else. This is a workplace, for fuck’s sake—can’t they have a little dignity and not treat it like a mating ground? He really hates them. All bigheaded assholes—
“Ow—” there’s bark and a hard thunk of something hitting the floor.
Someone just bumped into him—someone so small he hadn’t even seen them over the top of his clipboard. Looking down, he sees a fellow Omega—a pretty one. You must be as disoriented by the scent around you as he is—probably why you walked right into him—poor thing. He ought to help you up.
You hold your head in your hand, wincing at the sting of your rear—you’d fallen right on your tailbone. Looking up, you give the fellow Alpha who’d knocked you down a mean glare, “What the hell, asshole!”
His outstretched hand stiffens midway. That’s not a very Omega-like thing to say—especially not by one so small as you. No, wait… what’s that scent?
You ignore his hand and get up on your own, dusting down your pin-stripes with angry brushes—face pursed, almost pouty, but not quite, too stink-eyed as you lean in and jab a finger into his chest to punctuate your words, “Watch where you’re going next time, you…”
You soften up halfway through the sentence. It must have dawned on you as well. His scent. Not like other Alphas, but something else entirely—something that suddenly makes you blush all over, wide-eyed.
You don’t say another word, only giving a weak huff before turning tail and stomping away.
There’s something very cute about it—he’s left thinking while watching you, utterly stunned and still, replaying the events that just occurred over and over in his head—wondering how he’d never seen you before. You must work on a different floor.
Luckily, he’d made sure to read your name tag—pinned all properly on your chest like a badge of honor, neatly like the rest of you. Well put together from the top of your salon-styled hair down to the tips of your pointy black stilettos. Even with their added height, you must have been two heads shorter than him—no taller than any regular Omega.
It's no wonder he mistook you for one. You were as cute as one, too—like a doll he could put behind glass, up on a mantle, and keep forever. But oh my… that mouth on you and that awful snarl. Just like any other imposing Alpha, he supposed. Bratty and arrogant, quick to jump the gun and pick a fight instead of taking it for the simple accident it was.
He goes back and sets himself down by his desk—but he’s way too distracted to work now, too busy with the thought of you. That flushed face you showed him before teetering off was something he wouldn’t mind seeing again—also that cute scowl under certain circumstances and what type of expression you’d give him if he wiped it off.
He's lucky an office party came along so quickly. He wouldn’t usually go, but now he had a reason. He bet you’d be there—the way you were dressed when you’d bumped into him tells him you’re one to respect the memo—head to toe in such a neat suit, trying to come off as androgynous as if in desperation needing everyone to know you were an Alpha. It must be hard for you—looking like that but wanting to look… well, suppose more like him.
He's glad he never felt that way—wishing to be smaller and cuter like other Omegas. Sure, he’s been envious of them at times, but more so of their easy pickings and not their appearance. He’s happy being bigger and stronger—it keeps unwanted attention at bay. You probably struggle to do the same. He bets you get a lot of the wrong eyes following you. Yeah… you must attract the bad sort all the time—alphas swarming you only to catch your scent and lose interest. Or maybe not… Alphas are sick, after all. Come to think of it, most of them would probably get off on dominating another Alpha. In that regard, it must have been worse for you than for him. Luckily, both of your issues are now solved.
He wondered what you’d wear tonight. You’d look much better in something feminine and not that suit you’d been wearing. He hopes, but no, you’re wearing much the same thing—another tailored two-piece that all but drowns you.
He understands what you’re going for. You have to dress like that, or else what Omega would ever want you looking the way you do? Aside from him, of course.
No matter. When you move in with him, he’ll dress you in all the pretty things he knows you want to wear. After all, pretty colors, ruffles, and lace will suit you so much better.
“Hello again.” He approaches you by the hors d’oeuvres even after you’d visibly and explicitly chosen to ignore him.
You groan under your breath, responding without even bothering to look at him, “Do I know you?”
Your tough act is cute. He has to withhold a chuckle before answering, “Don’t remember? You called me an asshole a week ago.”
“You walked right into me, so it’s not like it wasn’t deserved.”
You have to love that arrogance—that air of unfounded superiority. He wonders, where do you keep it all? “Well, how could I not? You’re so small I didn’t even see you.”
You’re quick to bare your teeth—obviously, he hit a nerve—showing him that same snarl you’d done back then. Cute little canines—he bet they won’t even hurt going into his neck once you mark him.
“Watch your mouth, Omega.”
Still, with a small smile, he feigns surprise. “Wow—are you an Alpha? Funny, I didn’t know they came in such tiny packages.”
It flusters you, no doubt—your brows lowered into a full glower now. “And I didn’t know Omegas could be so rude.”
You turn to stomp again, as you’d done before—though this time, he grabs your arm before you’re gone.
You whip around with another bark, “Hands off—"
“I’m sorry,” he apologizes unexpectedly, giving you puppy-dog eyes you hadn’t thought him capable of. “I should have been more mindful of my steps. It was entirely my fault.”
You go still at the sudden show of humility and respect. Finding yourself softening by the tilt of his head, bowing at you in acknowledgment of your higher standing. Not that many bother doing that to you—between mistaking you for an Omega or otherwise neglecting your standing as an Alpha, both due to your physique. Seeing it up close and so abruptly flusters you.
“Let me get you a drink to make up for it?” he offers politely, almost in plead.
Struck with feelings of somewhat regret for your own uncouth attitude, you nearly accept on a whim. “That’s kind…” But then think it over. You don’t really want to lead him on, either. You nearly stutter, yet steal yourself. After all… “But you’re not really my type.”
He hangs his head with a dejected sigh, “That’s harsh.” But he’d already figured as much and didn’t really care. Giving you his most sorry grin, he insists, “Humor me anyway? Just one drink so I don’t feel like an asshole for the rest of my life.”
It’s clear you want to refuse—still, as suspected, your heart just can’t handle seeing a desperate Omega in need. Bless your dim Alpha instincts.
“Okay, fine. One drink, that’s all,” you end up agreeing. One drink can’t hurt, right?
You feel like a good Samaritan once the big hunk of an Omega runs off to fetch you a glass. Pitying him or even sympathizing, maybe—it can’t be easy for an Omega in the mating scene to look like that. No Alpha around would want an Omega bigger than them—it’s utterly emasculating, not to mention unnatural.
Of course, you’re aware you’re in much the same shoes as him—you’re not delusional. Only, it’s easy being an independent Alpha—you don’t mind being a lone wolf in the world—but Omegas were built to be domestic. So yeah, you pity him—the poor guy, he’ll probably never find a proper mate.
But you can’t let your pity grant him too many favors—you have no intention of taking on any charity case tonight, especially not a pity fuck. You’ll have one drink with him as a mutual apology. That’s all.
Luckily… one drink is all he needs. Add a little sprinkle of this and that in your glass, and you’re already in the palm of his hand.
He has to carry you bridal style before he’s even managed to lead you to the elevator—it’s empty all the way down to the garage. He puts you in his car, locks your seatbelt in place, then drives off. It’s honestly quite astounding how easy it had been. He’d thought trapping an Alpha would be a much more remarkable feat, an impossible one for an Omega—but this was no different from eating an unguarded piece of cake.
You’re drowsy as he carries you into his apartment. And that’s when the other drug kicks in. The overwhelming scent of being inside his nest sets off your rut like a matchstick being ripped along the red.
Your claws come out, puncturing his sheets as he lays you down on his bed.
You’re too delirious to do much but writhe—making it easy for him to unbutton your dress shirt, followed by your slacks. He has to scoff at your plain black boxers and binder bra. You poor thing, always trying to run with the big dogs when you’re no bigger than a bite-sized puppy. From now on, you’ll only wear lacey things he brings home for you. You won’t have to puff your chest—you can be as sweet and pretty as your delicate physique constitutes—his cutest, littlest, most perfect mate.
You gain newfound strength once he’s peeled your underwear down, baring your needy heat to his touch. Instantly, your arms spring into action, flinging themselves around him, pouncing like a predator at its prey with your fangs bared.
He stops you easily—placing his wrist between your teeth, using it as a muzzle. He chuckles, looking at you gnaw on it like a bone.
“I think the world has it all wrong,” he starts, though he’s not sure you’re even capable of understanding speech in your state. “Omegas are the ones better suited as leaders of society, not Alphas.”
As he talks, he continues with his ministrations, stroking your needy slit with a mean finger, swiping it cruelly before splitting between the folds.
“I mean, look at you—mindless in a rut, willing to pounce on anything that moves—like a wild animal.” Once he sticks his finger inside you, your teeth do his wrist the same justice—drawing blood, making him hiss through his smile, “I ought to keep you in a cage.” And yet he doesn’t pull either hand away. “It would suit you well—on your knees with a pretty leash and collar upon your throat.”
You’re wet in his hand—soaked and so warm he loses track of his own finger as if melting within you. His cock strains against his boxer, wanting to feel it for himself. But you’re still way too tight for that.
He feeds you another digit, and you moan—suckling on his wrist now more than biting, though still with your canines out and seeking.
“Look at these wittle teeth, tch—” he grins upon closer inspection, looking between them and your eyes—pupil-fat orbs, far gone in your instincts. “I bet they’re just itching for my neck instead, huh?”
The provocation seems to make you more desperate. Pumping you slowly, more so to stretch you out than stimulate, he can feel your breaths turn thicker with need, how you press your tongue against his wrist, wet and lousy, wanting for more.
“Well, go on then, Alpha...” He chuckles again, removing his arm from barring your mouth before wrapping your throat with the same hand, holding it like a collar, keeping you under control.
And then he bares his neck for you.
“I give my consent.”

The Healing Power of Nature: Why Spending Time Outdoors is Good for Your Health
Imagine walking through a forest, surrounded by towering trees and lush greenery. The only sounds you can hear are the birds chirping and the wind rustling through the leaves. You feel a sense of peace and calm wash over you. This is the power of nature.
Spending time in nature has been shown to have several health benefits, both physical and mental. Nature has been called "the best medicine.”
""Nature has a profound impact on our well-being. Spending time in nature can help to reduce stress, improve mood, boost cognitive function, and lower blood pressure. It can also help us to feel more grounded and connected to something larger than ourselves." "  -- Richard Louv
Here are some of the specific ways that spending time in nature benefits our wellness:
Reduces stress. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, the stress hormone. This can lead to several health benefits, including improved sleep, a stronger immune system, and a reduced risk of heart disease.
Improves mood. Nature can also help to improve mood and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies have shown that people who spend time in nature are happier and more optimistic.
Boosts cognitive function. Nature can also help to boost cognitive function and improve memory. Studies have shown that people who spend time in nature perform better on cognitive tests.
Lowers blood pressure. Spending time in nature can also help to lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that people who spend time in nature have a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.
Promotes physical activity. Spending time in nature often involves physical activity like hiking, biking, or swimming. Physical activity is essential for good physical and mental health.
Enhances social interaction. Spending time in nature can also provide opportunities for social interaction. For example, you can walk with a friend or family or join a hiking group. Social interaction is essential for our overall well-being.
In addition to these specific benefits, spending time in nature can also help to improve our overall sense of well-being. Nature can help us to feel more grounded and connected to something larger than ourselves. It can also help us to appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
If you're looking for ways to improve your wellness, I encourage you to spend more time in nature. Even a short walk in the park can make a big difference. It certainly does for me!
Here are a few tips for connecting with nature:
Find a place in nature where you feel comfortable and relaxed. This could be a park, a forest, a beach, or even your backyard.
Spend time in nature without any distractions. This means turning off your phone and putting away any other devices.
Be present and mindful of your surroundings. Pay attention to nature's sights, sounds, smells, and textures.
Take deep breaths and relax. Focus on the feeling of the air coming in and out of your lungs.
Enjoy the beauty of nature. Appreciate the plants, animals, and landscapes around you.
Another way to connect with nature is to bring it into your home. Using natural materials, such as wood, stone, and bamboo, often characterizes botanical design. It may also incorporate botanical elements such as plants, flowers, and leaves. Botanical design can create various looks, from rustic to modern.
There are many ways to add botanical design to your home interior. Here are a few ideas:
Add potted plants to your home. Potted plants are a great way to bring nature indoors and add a touch of green to any room. Choose plants that are easy to care for and fit your available space.
Hang botanical prints on your walls. Botanical prints are a beautiful and elegant way to add nature to your walls. You can find botanical prints in various styles, from vintage to modern.
Use botanical wallpaper or fabric in your home decor. Botanical wallpaper, murals, and fabric can add a touch of botanical design to any room in your home. Use them to create an accent wall in your living room or to upholster a chair or sofa.
Create a terrarium or kokedama. Terrariums and kokedamas are small, enclosed gardens perfect for adding a touch of nature to your home. They are also relatively easy to care for.
Add fresh flowers to your home regularly. Fresh flowers are a beautiful and affordable way to add natural elements to your home. Place them in a vase on your coffee or dining table, or give them to a friend.
Plant an herb garden in your kitchen. Herb gardens are a great way to add fresh herbs to your cooking and a touch of botanical design to your kitchen. You can plant herbs in pots on your windowsill or in a raised bed in your backyard.
Grow a vertical garden on your wall. Vertical gardens are a great way to add botanical design to small spaces. They can be created using various materials, such as wooden pallets or PVC pipes.
Create a living wall in your home. Living walls are extensive, vertical gardens that can add a touch of biophilic design to any room in your home. They are typically created using a variety of plants, mosses, and other materials.
Add a water feature to your home, such as a fountain or birdbath. Water features add a touch of tranquility and natural beauty to any home. They can also be used to attract birds and other wildlife.
Use natural materials in your home decor, such as wood, stone, and bamboo. Natural materials can help to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home. They can also add a touch of botanical design to your decor.
Bring the outdoors in with large windows and skylights. Large windows and skylights allow you to enjoy natural light and views of the outdoors from inside your home. This can help create a connection to nature and enhance your home.
Use natural light to your advantage when decorating your home. Natural light can help to make your home feel more spacious and airy. It can also highlight the botanical design elements in your home.
Use colors in your home to enhance wellness. For more information about the connection between Color Psychology and Wellness, click my blog to read more.
""Returning home is the most difficult part of long-distance hiking. You have grown outside the puzzle and your piece no longer fits." "  -- Antonymous
No matter the season, you can always find beauty in nature. The healing power of nature is simply magical.
Hiking in the Northeastern part of the United States always brings me joy, especially in Autumn.
"“A walk in nature walks the soul back home.”"  -- Mary Davis
Nature is home to the soul.
No matter where you live, you can always find beauty in your surroundings. This lovely path brought me down to the gorgeous Indian Ocean off the shores of Perth, Australia.
Nature can help us realize that we are part of something much larger than ourselves and that our problems are not as big as we may think. This can help us to feel more grounded and at peace.
Nature can also make us feel like the whole world is ours. When the beauty of nature surrounds us, we can't help but feel a sense of wonder and awe. We can do anything, and anything is possible.
If you want to improve your wellness, I encourage you to spend more time in nature. Even a short walk in the park can make a big difference. You can also bring nature into your home by adding plants, fresh flowers, or natural materials to your decor.
Nature is our gift, and it is there for us to enjoy. So, please make time for nature today and see how it feels. You may be surprised at how much it can benefit your health and well-being. Spending Time Outdoors is Good for Your Health.
