Episode 15 Art as a means of expressing emotions and thoughts with Rachel Burrell

As humans, we are constantly trying to express our thoughts and emotions; these are the foundations that everything else is built on. Art is one of the most effective ways that people do this. People like Van Gogh, Monet, and Picasso were able to express themselves through their art; they used paintings as a means of filling their hearts with love or anger or sadness. Art is a place where you can let emotions and thoughts escape their containment within your mind.

But self-care is crucial for making sure that your physical and mental health are in good shape. One way of practicing self-care is by doing creative activities like making art. If you find yourself struggling with anxiety and depression, you might find that doing arts and crafts is a way for you to take care of yourself. Art can be a great way to address your emotions and needs in a non-threatening manner. Even just by drawing something you're noticing the emotions that are inside of you which might not have been otherwise recognized or acknowledged.
