Art therapy is the practice of doing art as a way to gain inner peace.
Some examples are music, painting, drawing, singing, drama, poetry, writing, or any other form of creating.
People who experience illness,
chronic pain
, trauma or have depression of any form can benefit especially.
This is because art offers an escape for them.
This is a safe place to be to find a some inner peace.
It quiets your mind and brings you back to your center.
The unhappiness of the world around you will disappear if only for a while.
Sometimes that break is all we need to recharge our batteries and start a fresh new day.
Once you begin your project and you will lose the grip that all those problems you feel you have on your mind.
This is such a gift!
Some of the most amazing pieces of artwork
my husband has done is because he is able to fully lose himself with his art.
What are you interested in?
Have you ever found a project you love to do and realize the whole day has passed and you don’t have a clue where it went?
If you find yourself in a “funk”
try
drawing 
a picture or writing a poem.
Some people enjoy to crochet, knit, sew or scrapbook.
What do you enjoy?

Using
art
as therapy is a great way to meditate.
Exercise will help as well. We get natural endorphins flowing in our body as we exercise.
Which leads me to talk about
tai chi
.
Yoga
.
Pilates
.
Some consider
martial arts
an art.
All of these things have something in common which is becoming one with the source.
Do yourself a favor.
Do something you love to do!
