Magic Mushrooms Art X My Story

So I tried magic mushrooms for the first and only time, I did some artwork and I was tripping my absolute balls off from it like it was coming up off the page being all trippy and vibrant, THE MOST THERAPEUTIC SHIT MAN. I've never experienced anything quite like it but the artwork produced is just insane, every piece had its own story of what it was trying to portray or show me. 

Shrooms' also taught me how to draw trippy creatures and I kinda want one of them tattooed on me.

I had a good and a bad trip I probably took too much for a first time though, basically I looked at my trippydraws phone screen and it unlocked a WHOLE NEW LEVEL that I weren't ready for and kinda sent me west for a sec. Luckily I was at home, I could talk myself out of it and it didn't last that long but it is VERY easy to have a bad trip on shrooms', ya gotta be in a healthy mindset which i wasn't and in a comfortable location with people you trust, always have a trip sitter (someone with a sober mind to keep ya safe from any delusions or harm)...it's not something to do outside in my opinion because you can so easily go west; that's when ya start getting scared of trees for life n shit likeee

You can see the change in the art when I started to go west, goes from colourful to these waves around an eye. 
I've never coloured anything like this before, shrooms' had a lot to teach me and i'm so grateful for the experience. 
Overall i'm glad I did shrooms' and maybe sometime in the very distant future I may do it again but for now i'm still recovering my mental health and would be a terrible idea to do any psychedelics. I feel like they come to you when you're ready it's not something to force. They're a very powerful thing are psychedelics and I believe them to be a key experience of explaining what life is all about, lessons you wouldn't normally get to learn happen through psychedelics. HOWEVER. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, when you go west on acid that's next level and a lot harder to get out of in fact I didn't get out of it till the trip ended. I may do a post on my acid trips, had one good, two bad,  but I didn't do art back then so there's nothing to show.  

I wish I could remember more from my trip other than it was both good and bad but that's the thing with psychedelics it's hard to take in/put into words everything that happened. It was mainly trippy visuals that turned too intense for me, not much information and yet another ego death, I think that was the main lesson shrooms' taught me other than the art...that we're not just the human body, we are consciousness which has no end. 

Till next time.

Crawford&Black - 36 Colouring Pencils X Review

Image
  I needed some new colouring pencils and The Works had a sale on so I managed to get some Crawford&Black colouring pencils for £3 which I didn't think was bad for 36 colours and a sharpener. I've only tried their sketchbooks which I really like the quality of, for the price they're amazing and was interested to try their other products.   I did a swatch for you below, the colours are in the order that they are in the packaging; not in rainbow colour order but an order of cools and warms which I quite liked as it's different. Not all brands have a good cool to warm ratio and I think the colour selection is great. The packaging doesn't have any names on them but I don't really mind since there's a colour order to them.  The consistency is kinda hard at first and the colour pay off is nice on some colours; I didn't press on that hard for the swatches in hind sight I probably should have but I wanted to see what they're like naturally without pressu

Habits To Combat Anxiety, Depression and Low Self-Esteem X Mental Health Monday

Image
Happiness isn't a permanent state remember life's like a heart beat it goes up and down and without the downs can't appreciate the ups, so being all sunshine and rainbows is actually toxic positivity which is super unhealthy and unhelpful for combating anxiety/depression but you can strive for feeling content and fulfilled with your life; which in turn provides real happiness, healthy positivity and improves your self- esteem. Accept that some things you cannot control but you can control how you react in how much you let it affect you, sometimes no amount of worrying or anxiety can improve, fix or change situations - infact you can actually make things worse as what you think you attract and all that jazz, you just gotta ride it out wait for better days to come man.  "Prevention is the best medicine" and that's exactly what CBT teaches you, if you don't know what CBT is then you can read my previous post on the topic  here .  It's normal not to be per

Live For The Moment X Mental Health Monday

Image
If my psychotic episode taught me anything, it'd be to live for the now - don't take tomorrow for granted because life really could be over sooner than you imagined. I'm healing and can see things clearer now but it wasn't this way for about 8 months, I really did think life could be over at any given hour to come. I'm not going into details about the psychotic episode I've probably said too much already, but there are things that have changed as a result of it; like living for today, making the most out of life and being grateful for the little things. See my psychotic episode forced me to give up for a while on absolutely everything in life and my mindset may not have been perfect but since beginning to heal I've learnt that living for the moment certainly has it's benefits. I've achieved so much in the past 6 months it's unreal the difference it's made having this mindset shift from leaving everything till tomorrow to just getting shit don
