Zentangle also helps me stay in the moment. When I'm feeling stressed or over-stimulated and then start tangling, I'm able to observe my emotions and without being unduly affected by them. I'm able to ruminate on the situation at hand, if need be, without assigning an emotion to it. If there was no known cause, or if there were nothing I could do about the cause of the episode, then Zentangle serves as a dizteaction, allowing me to let the episode pass naturally without making it worse.

If I thought about it at all, I guess I considered the process of tangling as something that usually focuses me, and helps me let go of the other things on my to do list. Something that calms and fulfills me in the moment. What I hadn't considered was that it RECHARGED me. The "aha" part is that I now realize that when I'm done a tangling moment or session, I ALWAYS seem to have more energy, feel more confident, and get more of those things on my to do list done in a more efficient manner. Another RECHARGED "aha" is that the more I practice Zentangle, the more i enjoy and find inspiration from others, and what's going on around me. So thank you for the insight to seeing Zentangle as more than just in the moment but also as a Recharge!
