Do you ever just wake up with stress?  Maybe it was news you got about a friend, a family member or a pain you can't explain?  How do you calm yourself?  Meditation?  Devotion? Being busy?  

I encourage you to pull out a piece of paper and just doodle, draw, write.

If you do not enjoy the fine art side of things do you play an instrument?

Pull it out even if you have not played in years......loose yourself in creativity whatever that might be.

Take a breath and just be with the actions.

Art is a great way to calm yourself down.  

By creating art and doing something as simple as coloring, stress levels are seen to drop exponentially.

Helping to finally relax allows you to focus on other things such as processing emotions, focusing on yourself, and working on emotional release.

Don’t worry; art therapy does not require anyone to be a good artist.  Just pull it out and get stuck in.....feel the peace overcome the stress.
