Lack of focus, too many ideas and tasks circling your mind?
Yep! Me too!

Two exercises with Poppy Jasper:
🪨 The 5-Minute “Grounding Break” (For Overwhelm) When your mind is racing or you feel a wave of anxiety, use the stone (or card) for a quick sensory grounding exercise.
Hold the poppy jasper in your dominant hand. Close your eyes and take three deep, slow breaths. Focus entirely on the physical sensations of the stone: feel its weight, its temperature, and the smoothness of its polished surface. This shifts your brain’s focus away from looping thoughts and back into your physical body, lowering stress hormones.

⚓️ The Anchor Object (For Lack of Focus)Keep the stone directly on your desk or workspace to act as a visual and physical cue. The Visual Cue: Every time your eyes wander or you feel tempted to multitask, look at the stone. Let its distinct, organized patterns remind you to return to your current task. The Touch Reset: If you find your focus drifting, pick up the stone and roll it in your hand for 30 seconds to “reset” your attention span before diving back into work.

Finally finding the muse and gathering my thoughts for the next level of this project.
The Witch Retreats - a fully hand-painted deck of magical dwellings, familiars and botanics. Coming soon!

In a pensive place this evening ❤️✨ Did you know the Perseid shower is due on the 12th/ 13th? Eyes to the skies!

We only had a couple of hours in Le Mans a few years ago, but I could have sat there and painted the buildings for YEARS! 🇫🇷
