Description

Decompress Your StressAnxious Art is for readers and doodlers seeking relief from anxiety and stress through meditative, creative processes. What if we took our stress and used it to create art that brings us peace?A 2016 study at Drexel university that examined the effects of creative activity on reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol discovered that “45 minutes of art making…resulted in statistically significant lowering of cortisol levels.” We all know cortisol is the stress hormone, so grab a pen or pencil and let the meditations and writing prompts in this mindfulness journal take you on a calming journey to a healthier, happier mind. T.S. Eliot once said, “Anxiety is the handmaiden of creativity,” but if he had this creative journal during times of worry, he surely would have said creativity was the handmaiden to peace.

With this friendly, calming companion, you will find that you are much more present in the here and now. A unique guided journal that will calm and inspire: When used as self-expression, creativity can allow us to take part in what psychologists call “sublimation,” or the transformation of negative or socially unacceptable impulses into socially acceptable or even beautiful creations. Anxious Art offers inventive prompts, art projects, and affirmations to inspire artistic activities that distract from feelings of distress and anxiety.

As you experience this transformative guided journal, you will work with:Lyrical affirmations that build self-confidence and reduce fearTherapeutic writing exercises that root you in the present and spark joyDoodling that calms your emotionsGuided breathing exercises that bring you into the present momentFans of Wreck This Journal, Tiny Buddha’s Worry Journal, or I Am Her Now, will love the calming benefits of Anxious Art.
