A little art therapy

Just sharing a very simple art therapy video that I just tried for the first time – found it on IG. https://youtu.be/UOLNp4ekiTA through Mindful Art Studio | Art journaling and mindful creation from the heart I thought of you @FinWhaleFan & @Moltroub 'cause she started with a whole lotta breathing before even picking up the pen :slight_smile:
This is my little scribble that I did during the YouTube tutorial. I think I will be taking my pen and mini sketch pad to the hospital for my next post procedure recovery! I thought it worthy to share as you don’t really have to have a knack for drawing.

This looks so much fun and relaxing. Good idea to take a pen and paper with you to the hospital

@Kimoy -

First of all, love what you did! That looks so soothing … although I am not sure WHY you thought of me for β€œvery simple art therapy.” :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: (You were completely right to so do! :grin:)

I did laugh when you mentioned breathing, only because about the same time a friend & I were texting each other about forming an anti-stress club, and sharing tips and tricks. She reminded me of one of my favorite Box Breathing YouTube videos - to me, the trees enrich the practice! Sharing in case this quick 1 minute refresher helps you out as well.

I will definitely check out that link. It reminds me of neurographic art, so will be curious to figure out if there is a link.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Lovely. One piece of β€œart” I am proud of is a picture of my head from the Neuro-ICU. I actually had it enlarge and mounted and it is hanging in my office, next to a Warhol and a Rothko.
