Oscraps

Hello Artsy friends!!! It’s a new month, and a new topic over at the Art Journaling Challenges at oScraps!! Our theme is “FOCUS”!

Sonja describes it here for our first week:

Our word prompt for this month is FOCUS. “Focus” can be understood as a state of mental clarity and directed intention. It involves:

– concentration: The ability to direct all of your mental energy towards a single task, idea, or goal, blocking out distractions.
– Presence: Being fully engaged in the present moment, without your mind wandering to other thoughts, worries, or distractions.
– Purpose: A deeper sense of focus is often tied to a sense of purpose or meaning. When someone is truly focused, it often means they are aligned with something that is deeply important to them, whether it’s a goal, a value, or a passion.

Focus can also relate to mindfulness and awareness, where being focused means having a clear, calm, and centered mind. It is about tuning into the present moment, being aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, and environment, and not letting the mind be scattered or preoccupied by unnecessary distractions.
