Here Are 3 Creative Ways To Joyfully Catch A Falling Autumn Leaf.
Hi, Creative Friends-
Did you know if you catch a falling leaf it’s good luck? It can be hard to find time to wait patiently for luck to fall into our lives and for joy to follow so…
This week, here are 3 creative ideas on how to joyfully catch an Autumn leaf…
Get The Gold: Andrew Goldsworthy is a British-born artist who uses nature to sculpt works of art, including beautiful displays of perfectly arranged Autumn leaves. His work and story can be found at “Living Your Wild Creativity”, a short documentary on Youtube, or one of his books like “Andy Goldsworthy: Projects.” It’s hard not to feel the joy and luck when we realize his natural creations are purely temporary.
A Falling DIY: Finding Autumn’s joy was never more beautiful or easy with this DIY Falling Leaf Garland. Go out into nature, find a lovely tree branch, print the FREE Leaf Printable, and gather a few other supplies. This DIY easily comes together to bring joyful inspiration wherever it is displayed this Autumn.
Bathe Outside: A great way to create mental luck and joy is to get out and walk in nature. The term for just taking in the forest, through our senses, is called “Forest Bathing.” In Japan, it’s called shinrin-yoku or and it’s simply about being in and soaking up nature. Read more in this article from Time “The Benefits of ‘Forest Bathing’ How To Do It and It’s Great For Your Health.” Or pick up this book “Forest Bathing: How Trees Can Help You Find Happiness” by Dr. Qing Li. Then go hug a tree, look for a falling leaf as joy and luck fall into your life.
