These are where your Zentangle Practice begins and where it ends. 

To begin,  take a few deep breaths..  Next, feel the quality of the paper tile. It is the highest available. take a moment to appreciate the luxury of this item for yourself. I will also express gratitude for one good thing in my life. 

Even as a CZT, I sometimes skip this step.  When I do, I stop tangling and ground myself with gratitude.  It makes a difference.  I am consistently happier with my tiles when I have the time to feel gratitude.

At the end of your tangling session, hold your tile at arm’s length and rotate it.  As you do, appreciate the unique piece of art you created.  No other piece is or will be identical.  You created something beautiful. 

And that is worth appreciating.
