Creative Expression to Relieve Stress

Creativity gives the mind a break. Whether it’s colouring, painting, knitting, or building something — it helps you unwind.

How to Start:

1. Choose a creative activity you enjoy (or want to try).

2. Set a 10–20 minute timer.

3. Let go of any pressure to “make it perfect”.

4. Focus on the act, not the outcome.

Why It Works:

• Shifts your focus away from worries

• Engages the hands, which calms the brain

• Encourages flow and presence

When to Use It:

• During breaks or evenings

• When feeling anxious or stuck

• On days when talking feels too much

Create for the joy of creating — it’s good for the soul.
