When I get overloaded by (gestures at everything), I have found that coloring really helps me calm my mind. It's meditative in a way. I picked up a 3-pack of these coloring tablecloths and it was the best $14.99 I've ever spent.

Foraging win this morning when I found a patch of motherwort and a patch of goldenrod (not pictured). Motherwort is an herb that helps with heart health and anxiety, I make a tea with it and hawthorn berries. Goldenrod makes a dye, so I'm gonna try dyeing something with it. This shit is so fun istg
