Sketching up a gratitude mandala for all our amazing customers!
Not familiar with this concept? Lean into our inner circle of gratitude.
Think of a visual representation, most often circular, used to focus on and express thankfulness. That’s what we’re talking about here. The idea is to combine the practice of mindfulness art with the positive psychology of gratitude—art therapy at its finest and most fun.
Typically, the mandala's centre includes "I am grateful for" or "I am thankful for," and then expands outward with words or drawings representing things the individual appreciates. For example: “We are grateful for the kindness and loyalty of all our customers” …
And, for the record, regularly practising gratitude, especially through mandala art, can improve mental well-being, reduce stress, and increase overall happiness. We won’t say no to that! We have a lot to be grateful for.
ALSO. Gratitude mandalas provide a practical way to apply positive psychology principles, focusing on the positive aspects of life and shifting one's mindset towards abundance.
You may have heard about colouring mandalas - it’s a common practice. But gratitude mandalas can also be created with sand, natural materials, or other media. Mixed media, if you will.
Just so happens we have the perfect canvas for creating some visual gratitude.
