I have always been a doodler... what's that you say? It's someone that draws. When I think about it, it's quite funny because, I'm not actually that good at it. I'm not a frustrated artist (not that there's anything wrong with that) and I didn't study art in high school (well my Mum wouldn't let me because apparently I couldn't draw people well enough!). Perhaps because of this, I'm free to doodle.

There's something about it, that's just for me.

There's no audience.

I've used it in the workplace as a dhyana or focal point, when I'm trying to concentrate on something that had become habitual but needed me to stay alert.

Now that I'm a yogi, I realise that just like using mudras in a formal meditation sit, doodling for me is a form of active meditation. Where I can let my thinking mind rest. I can also use it to wake up my brain and employ the witness skill.

Here's something quite interesting I found online, it's just a bit of fun, but here's what your doodles might say about you.

Honestly, don't worry about what they mean, just keep on decorating post it notes and scraps of paper if it brings you a sense of space from all of the demands of your working day.
