Taking the time to draw every day helps me relax and clear my head of all the noise in the world. ☀️ I'm so grateful to have time to do something that I love and that brings me so much joy. ✨ Taking the time to sketch can be a great way to take a mental break and focus on one task. 🙂 It can also be a great way to develop and refine new skills. So if you haven't taken the time to draw today, why not give it a try? #DrawingPractice #artforwellbeing #DrawingGoals #arttherapy #drawingroutine #dailyart #portraitillustrations (à Paris, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CofAGTAIXNr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Combining mindfulness with connecting with nature.

Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment in a non-judgmental way. It is a way of being fully present and aware of one’s surroundings, thoughts, and emotions. Combining mindfulness with connecting with nature can powerfully impact our mental and physical well-being. Connecting with nature can be as simple as walking in the park, hiking in the mountains, or spending…

Community Funding RANT

Getting so disheartened with Fund raising. #communityproject #mentalhealthawareness #fundraising #donateorshare #share #artforwellbeing

Ugh! Getting so disheartened, fed up and frustrated. Never thought it would be so hard to get funding for a community group! People throw money at so many sad stories on the internet without fully checking the legitimacy of the fund raiser, yet here we are doing something for the community, people suffering with mental health problems, trying to make connections and give people a safe space to…

#wibta Would I be the A-hole for cancelling my group for not going as planned? #amta #mentalhealth #artgroup #artforwellbeing #anxiety #depression #mentalhealthmatters

Would I be the A-Hole for temporarily cancelling my Art group because I don’t like how it’s going? Sounds like a real dick move, but hear me out. This group is supposed to be an free Art for wellbeing group for the local area, and available to whoever needs it. It is to help people use art as an outlet for stress or mental health. However, there where certain people we wanted to hold off allowing…

Fuckin Fuming

Our session at our group was rudely interrupted. Seriously losing the will to even try anymore. #communitygroup #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness #depression #anxiety #stress #annoyed #fuckingrude artforwellbeing #art #artgroup

I am so angry right now. We had our second session of L.A.S.T ( our art wellbeing group we are trying to do). Other people actually came this time, granted they where just friends of Vanessa’s but it still counts. They still enjoyed and learnt the benefits of what we where doing, and we managed to dig into their emotions a little. But then at 20:30 two old men, regulars, came in to set up for…

What am I even doing!?

Open Evening for my Art group tonight.... Why I don't fucking know, low key hope no one comes, sort of. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmaters #anxiety #depression #panicattack #art #artforwellbeing #artist #blog #blogger #mentalhealthawareness #donate

This evening we are hosting an Open Evening for our Art for wellbeing group, L.A.S.T (Local Art Support Therapy). Do you ever sometimes think your not doing that bad? Like my anxiety, I haven’t had a full blown panic attack for ages now, so you know, I forget, so then I organise to do something stupid like try and host a group and then realise, “Oh shit, I suffer from social anxiety and panic…

Monday is the Warm Space, Creative Space. I’d love to be happier and excited about it but I’m anxious as hell about some of the people that might come along. Vanessa and I where attending a Friday warm space Craft group at another centre, not really the kind of thing I want to be at in all honesty, it’s old lady crafts, I am only there because the women who run it are friends of Vanessa’s from…
