6 priceless things about creative expression
/ONE: It doesn’t matter the medium (crayons, oils, acting, musical instrument, writing/journaling, singing in the shower, dancing in the living room… ).
It doesn’t matter the quality or outcome.
TWO. It’s all about the journey of processing and releasing our emotions, traumas, wounds, fears… experiences.
THREE. It’s meditative, inviting you to be present, minimizing the external and internal noises of distraction.
FOUR: While being in the moment, you'll connect deeper with yourself, leading to understanding.
FIVE: It’s also better than dumping our hurt onto people we love and/or hate.
SIX: It also works a charm when expressing joy and gratitude.
