Slow down and draw.

Life is busy.

Work is stressful.

And change is relentless.

Overwhelmed?

Draw.

Drawing is a physical practice.

When you print, fold, and do the drawing activity in this zine you will activate more calm, presence, curiosity, and creativity.

It's mindfulness in action.

It's good for your body and brain.

Drawing engages the part of the brain responsible for focus, problem solving, and memory.

Working with your hands can ease anxiety.

This zine was first shared at ATD's Core4 Conference in Indianapolis in September 2026.
