Art For Reducing Stress

Color yourself happy

Children have the natural inclination to be so engaged in the creative process
without any cares about the finished product. Most adults flip their focus to the
end result and unless they have worked on an award winning chef-doeuvre, all
creative joy vanishes. The next time you bring home a new box of crayons, pull
up a chair and color with your kids. Follow their lead. And when they hang their
pictures on the fridge door, go ahead and hang yours, too.
Make it with love
If you are drawn to crafts, creating functional handmade items fits very nicely
into the definition of art therapy. To most people it is a third feminism thing, with
women taking back crafts that is given up because females do not want to be
the homemaker knitting or embroidering or sewing. Now people are
rediscovering how meaningful these crafts really are in life to create with their
hands, connect to the visual world, and enjoy being in the moment as they
create.
