Creativity and Self Expression

Creativity and Self Expression

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Many people find times of crisis to also be a time when their creative energies are active. Painting, drawing, craftwork; these can be used as a way of expressing experiences, releasing emotions and bringing a sense of focus. Enjoy the creation of whatever comes, rather than focusing on the final outcome; messy is good! </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dancing, movement, singing and playing music, can create an enormous release of energy. Even when having a bad day, listening to your favourite music and dancing around has an enormous power of positive refocusing. Turn the music up loud and let out those pent-up screams too; it can be very cathartic to release repressed emotions.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Simple things like writing stories, poetry, upcycling old furniture or clothing, changing your bedroom around, all help with creative expression.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Go slow - Small steps can have a big impact, especially when they lead to a growing sense of satisfaction and confidence. </span>
