Is Creative Expression in Your Mental Health Maintenance Place?
Mental health struggles can often leave us feeling overwhelmed and drained, making it difficult to find joy and pleasure in our daily lives. However, engaging with our creativity can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment that can be incredibly beneficial for our mental health.
Is creative expression in your mental health plan?
Creative expression can take many forms, such as painting, drawing, writing, singing, dancing, or playing music. These activities provide a safe space to express yourself freely, without judgment or criticism. By engaging with your creativity, you can explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences in a non-verbal and symbolic way, which can help you process and understand them better.
Engaging with our creativity has been linked to reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, and increased feelings of happiness and well-being. In addition, creatively expressing yourself can help develop a sense of self-awareness and increase self-esteem.There is no right or wrong way to express yourself and no previous art experience is required.
