Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed out?
When your brain is stressed out it becomes flooded with peptides and hormones and you may be unable to process information.
Take a creative break!
Color a Mandala- Trace a circle the size of a paper plate and use colored pencils or markers and fill in the circle with any pattern or designs. Notice how you feel calmer and more centered.
Play with play-doh- Squish the colors, play with shapes, smell the dough. These sensory activities will help you calm and self-soothe.
Do a brain dump- If you’ve got too many thoughts swirling around in your head you can easily become overwhelmed. Take a piece of paper and write down all the things that you’re feeling stressed about. Then rip it or crumple it up and throw it away. Pick one thing to focus on and give your full attention to that.
Create a calm collage- Look though magazines and cut out words and images that are calming and centering. Paste them on paper and put them above your desk. When you need a reminder, look at the image.
Doodle- Research published in the Applied Psychology Journal suggests that doodling while listening will help you remember details. Have a pad colored pencils or markers and a pad on-hand during your next meeting.
If you have stress in your personal life or you’re worried about other family members, art therapy can help. To learn more and receive a complimentary audio mini-course "Secrets Your Kids Really Don't Want You to Know:A Child Art Therapist Tells All" *(except for the confidential stuff)
