RELIEF STRESS THROUGH ART THERAPY.

Art therapy is the safe, creative, and therapeutic process of expressing your inner thoughts, feelings, memories, and experiences through any form of art.

Art therapy usually involves techniques such as drawing, painting, sculpting,

collaging, and other types of crafts that help create more inner Self Awareness, understanding, and harmony.

Drawing and coloring can be a helpful tool for anyone seeking new ways to manage anxiety symptoms. Not an artist? That’s OK — you don’t need any special skills to give art therapy a try.

Art therapy doesn’t require artistic knowledge, only your imagination.

It focuses on the process of creation and meaning making rather than end-product.

When you’re completely engaged in creating art, your mind enters a meditation-like state, allowing your thoughts to flow and releasing tension and stress in your body. Being in the zone creates a sense of well-being and helps you focus on your strengths instead of your stress.

Art therapy is reported to help manage not only stress but also anxiety and depression.

Take a deep breath, grab a sheet of paper, find your favorite pencil, brushes, and colors, and create some art! Let your mind and body rest and be better prepared to deal with stress.
