Stress Reduction: Engaging in creative activities diverts your mind from everyday stressors, promoting relaxation and tranquility.
Enhanced Emotional Expression: Art therapy encourages you to communicate feelings through creativity, offering an alternative to verbal expression.
Increased Mindfulness: The process of creating art fosters focus and attention, helping you stay grounded in the present moment.
