Make a simple rhythm and change one element

You want a small, ordinary creative activity.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

  1. Choose a comfortable way to make or mark a rhythm, including drawing marks instead of making sound.
  2. Try a simple pattern, then change its spacing or order if interesting.
  3. Stop whenever you want and note your preference without evaluating emotional regulation.

An example

I draw a repeating short-long pattern, then vary the spacing.

Reflect

Did repetition or variation interest you more?

Next time

Keep the activity optional and considerate of others sharing the space.
