Engaging in a hands-on, mindless creative activity gives your brain the chance to rest, wander, and explore beyond. In the process, your nervous system can naturally re-regulate, reducing stress and even allowing emotions to process.
As you practice this form of expression in which your mind can go offline and your hands stay active, you may experience unexpected breakthroughs — like those "aha" moments in the shower.
Create for the pleasure of creating, without concern for skill level — this is about allowing your soul to express itself.
Paint by numbers, draw in a coloring book, doodle, sculpt clay, make pottery, knit, garden, craft, write poetry with pen & paper, cook, bake, squeegee art, circle art, woodworking, beading, blacksmithing, or anything else that piques your interest.
If you are less interested in working with your hands, then choose any form of art that helps you freely explore your creative expression: write a blog or a book, start a podcast, create digital art, sing or take voice lessons, act in a play (even a solo play in your own bedroom).
Think back to what you loved doing creatively as a child. Start there.
Or, notice what you admire in other people’s creations (whether in person or online). Let any piqued interest guide you, and then give it a go for the sake of experimentation, trial and error, or perhaps even a process of elimination.
If you feel blocked to express yourself artistically, but want to explore the mental & emotional release that can be experienced through art, consider a form of process art:
Imperfection is the name of the game. Use this as a way to freely express your thoughts, emotions, senses, experiences, desires, and frustrations. In doing so, you may discover a path for release, a portal of clarity, a pocket of beauty, or a divine connection that you’ve been searching for.
Use these while you give it a go . . .
Tones that synchronize your brainwaves to help you access your subconscious, foster creativity, daydream, focus, learn, and more.
