USING YOUR 5 SENSES DURING ART JOURNALING TO MANAGE STRESS

THIS IS HOW ART JOURNALING CAN BE USED AS A CREATIVE COPING STRATEGY

COPING STRATEGIES OR SELF-SOOTHING SKILLS ARE SIMPLE THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO, WITHOUT THE HELP OF ANYONE ELSE, THAT BRINGS YOU INTO THE PRESENT MOMENT WITH A SENSE OF CALM TO BOTH YOUR MIND AND BODY.

Grounding yourself in the present moment (mindfulness) is a powerful self-soothing technique, bringing your mind home to your body, allows you to very quickly reduce anxiety and overwhelm. One of the ways I like to do this with creativity is to journal from the 5 senses.
