I recently bought a fountain ink feather pen to slow myself down and see if I could master cursive again. It is for me a lost skill. It’s been fun to learn how to write clearer by slowing down, and to notice how the brain synapses learn to fire together as I pick up a new body/mind connection.
Slowing down to go faster is a theme in my life. I first learned this in tattooing, and have had to learn it again in parenting, cooking, painting, and business building. This month, it’s learning how to slow my mind down enough to write slower and more clearly.
I discovered that as a result, this process of learning cursive with a pen that will splotch, drip, and flow has improved my regular everyday handwriting. Which is cool.
Bringing in a new skill that isn’t gravely important to my life is like hitting an upgrade button on my life. I get to enjoy a process, level up a new skill, and bring in more beauty and an immersive all-body experience for mundane tasks. I highly recommend doing something like this! I love conscious moments for delight.
Investing in yourself and your everyday mundane experiences is a great way to honor your aesthetic, your enjoyment, and your time.
