Finding Balance
It’s easy to recognize the importance of both body and mind on our overall wellness because we all strive to be pain-free and clear-headed. But what isn’t always clear is how our overall health can be affected by factors that are a bit trickier to measure. One simple way to address these hidden health challenges is by making time for creative expression.
Just Breathe
Life comes with its share of challenges and setbacks and, over time, the stress we are under can affect our health in a bad way. While it’s impossible to avoid stress altogether, it is possible to develop strategies to help diffuse it. One of the best ways I have found to bring things back in balance is by doing something that is just for me; art play. Taking time to play with my supplies allows me to relax and get out of my head. Creative expression is the thing that allows me to rest, recharge, and just BREATHE.
Finding What Works For You
Do you feel like you’re in your “happy place” while baking, playing the piano, taking photos in nature, or collaging in your journal? Regardless of whether or not you’ve mastered the art, if you feel passionate about it and it allows you to express yourself, make time in your life to do it! Then, breathe deep and enjoy.
