Presence in Drawing

I love drawing because like a vacation, it allows me to clear my mind and live in the present of what I am creating. After my drawing is over, my mind is reset and ready to accomplish whichever other task the day is presenting me. There have been many times in which I am studying a subject in a textbook, and after my mental space starts to feel completely saturated and my working memory wants a break, I take a short hiatus and draw a sketch. My cache has been cleared after taking a drawing break, and I return to whichever logical activity I was doing feeling refreshed. I never feel guilty for spending time drawing because it always makes me feel good, and that makes me more effective and happier in every other aspect of my life.
