Joshua Tree: Artwork & Poem

Oh Joshua Tree, it has been a spell
I need to visit soon, I can already tell
How I have missed you, under the sky so free
And the things I can see, make my soul flee

Unplugging

How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?

When I feel overwhelmed with work or personal life, I know it’s time to unplug. One of the activities that helps me unwind is drawing while listening to music. Engaging in these two activities simultaneously allows my mind to stop overthinking, providing me with a sense of peace for a while.

Additionally, I find peace in nature. During times when I need to unplug, I’ve taken trips to Joshua Tree, and the experience has been incredibly refreshing. If I can’t make it to Joshua Tree, I visit a local park, find a quiet bench, and simply observe the world around me.

Recognizing the importance of unplugging has been a learning process for me. Since realizing its significance, I’ve made a conscious effort to prioritize this practice in order to prevent feeling overwhelmed.
