Exploring Pristine Mind Meditation for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: A Path to Effortless Rest

“Discover how pristine mind meditation may offer a gentle, restorative state of awareness without the energy costs that often come with post-exertional malaise.” Living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome means every action, every exertion, has a cost. For many, even a few minutes of focus or effort can lead to post-exertional malaise—a profound worsening of symptoms that can last for days. But what…

Pages from trying to keep a little sketchbook-scrapbook type thing going for two weeks lol. I gave myself specific rules in hopes they might all end up more cohesive/consistent seeming, but alas, scribbly chaos reigns, it seems

#sketchbook #scrapbook #Actually I feel like these are kind of incomprehensible in photo form like.. In person holding the book its easy to look at #but as images on this scale I feel like there's so much tiny little text and small scribles and stuff you'd have to 'right click > open #image in new browser tab > zoom in' just to actually really see the thing. which for 7 images is excessive lol.. so. probably not the best #medium for sharing really but. I suppose I thought they might look cooler lined up next to each other. The whole part of using a #limited color palette is so that maybe they kind of seem to have more consistent color schemes or something throughout. but I dont #know if they look all that 'related' or not. I think these types of challenges I have always sucked at because I am a being of clutter and #excess. I can't just do like one little simple nice looking design and have that Crisp Neat calligraphy with evenhanded perfect lines #and perfect symmetical composition and etc. etc. Like some poeple post very aesthetically clean and cohesive looking sketch #pages or something but I simply cannot hold back the brain impulse to add more. more. more. Fill every single blank space with color #or a little drawing or a sticker or something. I take away 500 things and there are still a million there. Even when I thik I'm being #'simplistic' I'm still usually being 2x more complicated and cluttered than the standard or whatever lol. I guess thats clear from my #outfits/costumes though too. Like whatever that saying is from that person about something like 'before you leave the house take off one #more accessory. you dont need it' for me is like.. 'before you leave the house. add 10 more accessories. and 6 more layers. and another'#AAANyway. I wonder if also maybe some people would try to plan theirs in a way to look good or something or like.. plot things on the page #before placing them. I did sometimes have a theme for a day kind of (like day 10 I ended up finding a few gold and green things and then #was like.. hey... what if I looked for a few other things and only used these colors today') but aside from that I was just slapping down #stickers randomly and working around them to fill the page. Maybe a lot of neat minimalistic asthetic design is about planning and #having a Vision set ahead of time. instead of just complete random whatever. doodling whilst watching youtube videos or eating lunch. It's #a miracle actually I've managed to not spill any food on the book the whole time. anyway.. I do wish the highlighter really showed up. the #scanner kind of makes the colors look VERY different to irl. But also it got much clearer images than just camera pictures of pages. alas..#..Still oddly enjoy the phrase 'Salisbury Steak gently kissed with industrial pollutants'#probably my favorite section of 'gluing random papers and things onto the page' lol #Also I wonder if it's super obvious that I literally never ever use references when I draw (save for the few freakish looking youtube #face sketches) since everyone is always in the same positions and looking very similar ghhb. This could have been a good opportunity to #work on not solely drawing from my mind and try to do more Dynamic Experimental scribbles. NO. Same exact eye for the 90th time #be upon ye. But I guess it was meant to be casual 'daily doodles'. True 'practice' would make it seem too effortful like a full project. hm #(lol the one decimated pencil in the set... never hand me a writing utensil. i will passively destroy it somehow. shaving the sides of a #pencil off with a knife or snapping a pen in half as a nervous fidget without even realizing i've done it. sorry to the drawing implements)

Me: let's try drawing a story outline instead of writing drafts, fanfics should be good quick practice right?

The first quarter of my fic:

#I manage to be shocked every time when I shouldn't #yo this fanfic was short and simple in my mind what is this #i feel betrayed #fun method tho #quite simple and practical too

pinterest sketches (x, x, x)

#lg doodles #figure drawing #art study #i like this brush 4 practice. idk if you can tell from here #but the drawing path will often split into two lines bc its supposed 2 be a 'chalky' brush #and i think it helps me think less abt line quality and more ab the whole drawing #im trying to get better at drawing bodies esp bodies in unconventional poses (i like top right personally)#but i still need to work on perspective and proportionality #like the bottom one doesnt quite get there. i lose a lot of depth bc i flattened it in my mind #also i cant Crunch bodies .. like i drew his arm abnormally long bc i couldnt figure out how to deepen his back leg #so that its on the same horizon as his hand.much 2 think ab.#but i had fun. so thats a plus. yaay. <did not go 2 life drawing like i said i would #and back 2 top right i do like the contour lines or whatever u would call them. i think his back #is the most simplistic of the whole page and i rly like the style.want 2 make everything that simple #i do also like the face on the bottom.bc i always avoid faces in poses. ITS BAD IRTS A BAD HABIT !!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED 2 STOP !!!!!

(guy who is normal about traveler abroad voice) hey man how's it going

#tai sui #太岁 #had a tag saying everyone who can spot the cousins in the first one in less than 5 seconds gets a cookie #but i realised they show up clearer in the scan so everyone gets a cookie for free :) 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪#the first one was supposed to be aerial perspective practice but then i noticed the tree trunks kinda looked like willows and. well.#please imagine the leaves in your mind's eye i had to erase them because the sketch looked too messy otherwise </3 #the shiyong one was supposed to be a traditional piece but i fucked up big time while inking #moped around for a couple weeks #and finally resigned myself to painstakingly try and fix it digitally #i feel kinda insane for putting so many hours into such a simple piece but we stay silly👍#xi ping #xi shiyong #zhou ying #prince zhuang #traveler abroad #tai sui spoilers #my art #my tai sui art #🍀

i’m so pressured with improving myself as an artist and it’s making me lose it because i’m not even doing art for my career but i love it so much. Like i kinda feel useless doing it sometimes, especially since i see other artists and i know damn well i will never achieve that level and im not saying this for people to feel pity but idk i feel like my art style doesn’t fit tr.???3! or like idk. Sometimes i’ll literally cry because i feel like my art style doesn’t fit rindou and she’s literally my muse, she’s the reason why i get so excited to sit down and draw everyday yet i feel like im just stuck sitting somewhere where i can’t do anything special to show my love for her and it sounds silly.. bc that’s a fictional character but still, ive liked this character for so long and i see improvement just from drawing rindou non stop but i still feel like im just barely touching the surface of improvement. Also i feel like i care too much about what others may like vs what i want to try and draw.. i want to draw her raw and literally how i perceive her, her character, her body, every single aspect of her and why she’s so important to me. Yet i can’t do that because i get so scared of the outcome/how my artwork looks/ how others will perceive it. And im not saying im not happy with my art, i am but there’s just ways i want to do it i feel like wont stick out to others which scares me or it will seem ooc of rindou. literally because of this i always have the urge to delete my account and restart and continue doing that till i feel like i perfected her yet i dont think that’ll ever happen even with how much love i have for that character

#this sounds fucking crazy just lock me up #this is a dumb rant #but it’s been on my mind for so long and i wanted to say it here since i’m a bit more comfortable on tumblr (barely)#i think i compare myself way too much with other artists who i guess draw characters crazy hot or smrh😭😭LOL which is like yeah duh everyone+#is gonna love that #but i don’t like drawing that stuff..!! at all yet i try sometimes because i know ppl like it but im like eughhh..#i dunno. Maybe it’s also because i just don’t see rindou as a dude so that fucks me over at the same time #i liked rindou ever since ???? the stupid ass debut just because i thought her design was cool #and i’m still not happy how i can’t draw her like how i would like to #at the same time i am but i know damn well im rlly not #which is why i always try to draw her with scenery or just doing simple things i dunno.. i think its sweet. I want to see her just live #and i feel like im very repetitive with my art which im trying to be less of but its hard obviously no matter how much i practice ill +#still want to draw how i’m used to

Finally got around drawing Aioros :D

#saint seiya #saint seiya fanart #los caballeros del zodiaco #sagittarius aiolos #I remember reading somewhere (either a post or some wiki page idk) how aioros is often revered as the perfect saint an almost divine figure #and I’m pretty sure aioros initially refutes being the next pope saying saga would be a better fit (it’s 4am so correct me if I’m wrong)#anyway I watched some of kotz for fun and saw that scene. he seemed rather upset at the news but a sense of distress I can’t really describ #even when keeping in mind that he was only 14 I don’t think it was the responsibility that comes with being a gold saint/pope successor #but more combining the first bit of being highly viewed. he seems like a rather humble guy who’s rather content with risking his life #or has at least excepted that fact. but when seem as more than a simple soldier it makes him uneasy. because he knows he’s not a god #yet is put in such position that when adding his sacrifice at an early age he’s practically legend. and despite the initial denial he will #always be obedient enough to accept the duty placed upon him. this is all to simply say I tried drawing him smiling but it didn’t look righ #so ye. (feel bad for just leaving the thought process to the sketch in the tags but it’s not my best wording so it stays down here)#a smol trivia nugget: I still don’t know how I want to draw aioros :p actually better trivia nugget: the pose/composition is from a photo m #they saw I had taken a photo but my angle was rather bland so they decided to absolutely blow me away with one heck of a photo #theres even nice lighting and everything. real glad I finally used the reference as reference :]

I am attempting embroidery

So far?

This shit fucking rules

#Speedrunning my love of knitting into my love for embroidery #I have only done two very simple lines! But they are straight and blue and I managed to tie off #Once successfully the other uhhhhh #I may have been dual-wielding tweezers there for a few minutes but the important part is that it's tied off #Going to try a back stitch and running stitch next for practice funsies #And then a block - and then a gradient - and then a not-gradient #And then :3 #But all in good time!#I enjoy the way the needle pokes through the bottom like its peeking out and then retreating upon being in the wrong spot #I think that's a very cute thing of it to do - which is also a me thing of it doing so I get the cuteness too #Spyhopping y'know #Anyhow I'm still just using cheap basic thread for this as I don't have embroidery thread or needles yet #Just getting the action down the practice #But if I can do it with regular thread then why not!#I'm excited to try a satin stitch with teeny-tiny thread :3 #Having to keep in mind to use just a bit at a time so it doesn't get worn out going back and forth #Fun fun fun fun fun #I'm enjoying :D

Request done for @choijesoo of their beautiful OC! 🪽

#myart #artists on tumblr #oc art #character design #request #emmy bee is back #This was supposed to be a simple sketch just to get faster #but their concept just had so much potential i couldn’t help myself and just fully rendered that bad boy!#I tried to stay as close to their original portrait as i could #but i took a few creative liberties to tie in their story and personality in my own way #I hope you dont mind the little changes!#its not perfect but this gave me a bunch of practice with some experimental techniques ive been wanting to try #which is why it took so long lol #but then again thats what these requests are for to learn and grow as an artist #whether that means getting faster or trying things i have never tried before!#i encorage everyone to take risks in their art and try new things!#do it wrong and do it scared because that is how we learn!

I really want to finish another big wind themed illustration for this month’s Sornieth Scenery piece but I don’t think I’ll be able to find 10-15 spare hours before the end of the month to actually do so. Maybe see how sketching goes on Friday after work or Sunday morning…too much stuff to do this weekend and too little time to do it!

#windy whispers #was going to do singer’s brook but maybe I’ll save that for later when I can actually spend time on it #the composition I had in mind was practicing complex shadows on water #maybe something nice and simple for the steppes instead would be doable

Thinking about how I went from artistically gifted kid who was pretty good at copying pictures to mediocre artist who basically struggles to draw a face every single time 🥴

#don't take me wrong I'm proud of me for actually trying to make things from my mind #but even after years of practice I struggle soo much for simple stuff lol #and it does kind of make me sad seeing the quality of my drawings decline #but honestly I don't have that patience anymore lol #also digital is hawd I like to pretend that's the problem #even though most of my digital stuff looks better than the traditional bc I have access to a bunch of transformation tools

#@ me please just do the one task you have left to do today so you can enjoy your evening #and stop being afeared #anyway I love directing a choir but I hate being in charge of the admin I am so bad at it #if only I could beam into everyone's minds when to meet for practice #but I can't so um girlie if you don't tell anyone there's going to be practice tomorrow evening its not going to happen #I guess I am worried that if I announce it there's going to be a secret reason why it cannot be so #and then I will look like even more of a disaster #with the track record we've had it doesn't feel that unrealistic is the problem #I keep being gone every weekend and the past few practices I have been able to hold have been miserably attended #due to conflicts that were a surprise to me #because no one can communicate around here I guess #my other simple task of printing music today already went awry #when the girl misunderstood me at the ups store and printed wayyyy too many copies #shoulda been a karen but I was too scared so I just said thanks and paid THIRTY DOLLARS and took my huge stack of paper and left #aasdfghjkllkjhghjkjh that's not what I asked for!!!!!! but I'm just eating that extra twenty I guess #last time we met we didn't even sing bc there was like 4 people and we just made a schedule for the rest of the year #decided evening practice might be better #but only those four people are currently aware of that plan #and I have procrastinated trying to get the word out because I'm Scared for some reason #like it's literally not that serious but yikes yikes yikes #what I need is like. an assistant with good organizational skills #I can do the music. I can run the practices. I can even bring snacks #but for some reason I just cannot get it together
