Hello everyone!
Welcome to Mental Health Day blog hop, where a group of card makers are representing the art of card making via our beautiful cards on the theme of 'Art for your mind'.
When we think of the word- Mental health, one might think of issues like Depression, Schizophrenia or Bipolar disorder. But even stress, anxiety are forms of mental health issues. If these are left unmanaged for long time, they may need medical attention. Art helps us to relax and rewind from everyday stress. There is a sense of happiness in creating art, which is therapeutic. When we enjoy the process of creating art, we tend to forget the negative emotions and stress.
As part of Mental Health Day Hop, we would like to reinforce this fact that art and craft are therapeutic. We encourage all of you to take some time every week, if not everyday, to pursue some hobby like drawing, coloring, doodling, card making or whatever is your pick.
Check out some websites, which talk more about Mental health
For me Card making is similar to meditation, it keeps me sane! And although I always was thankful for having a hobby that also had such a supportive community, this pandemic just makes me thank God even more, for this hobby!
I made a card with a stencil by our kind sponsors STAMPlorations, stencil called Wistful and used my scraps of cardstocks to make beautiful flowers for her floral wreath crown. I have a video to show how I made it, which you can watch.
When we are loving towards ourselves and people around us, most of the issues get addressed.
