Have you ever considered using art as a solution to your stress? Art
therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses the different forms of art as a
way of communication. If you have a difficult time trying to express yourself
through words, then art therapy is the perfect resolution. We all know that stress
is a common problem for teenagers to experience in their day to day life. Although
encountering stress is not an unusual thing, experiencing too much stress for
an adolescent may be damaging to the health. Exposing a problem through art can
be done by making visual artworks containing symbols and images that convey the
meaning behind the stress.
I've never even realized all these years i couldve released my stress through art! It sounds like a creative and fun idea to try :) thank you for this advice
ReplyDeleteI have heard before of using as art as a form of therapy or solution to stress. Though I personally have never tried it, I would be open to using art to help with stress. I think that incorporating art as a form of therapy and stress-reduction would be extremely helpful and calming.
ReplyDeleteAnd the good thing about this is that you don't have be a good at art to experience art therapy.
DeleteThat's good because I am not good with art. I often doodle on my paper when I'm bored. But when I'm in art class, I find painting very relaxing.
DeleteWow, that's really cool, especially cuz I do that sometimes, but I never realized it could help other people as well. This is so great!
ReplyDeleteI use art to relieve my stress all the time. I go to a very demanding high school, and around test days my stress level skyrockets. So whenever I feel like this, I get a blank sheet of paper and I just draw whatever comes to mind. And pretty soon I forget all about my stress and it calms me down. That's just my experience. But art can absolutely be a form of therapy. A sheet of paper, a blank canvas, a lump of clay. Any one of those is a potential stress reliever. You can use colors to map out your emotions or mold something that reflects how you're feeling. And sometimes that really helps.
ReplyDeleteFor us teenagers, stress is such a huge problem because of school demands and other problems. Some of us just don't like talking to people about our problems but like to write it in a journal, sing about it, or draw it out. Since you like to draw to relieve your stress, do you mind sharing some of your drawings and your story so other teenagers can see what it's like to experience art therapy?
DeleteI'll send some to you. What's your email?
DeleteSend it to mylkm33@gmail.com! Thank you.
DeleteYes, when I am stressed out I love to draw something in order to relieve my stress. I particularly love to draw trees and things that make me happy. Art therapy is definitely a great way to manage stress in a positive and relaxing way. Being able to put my feelings in paper is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWould you like to share your drawings? I will create a post for you on my blog. Just email your drawing to mylkm33@gmail.com thanks!
DeleteThat would be great! I will draw something and email it to you.
DeleteI am naturally a person who tries to express myself and relieve stress by using things like art and music. I think that this provides a way for people to relieve their stress and even to better understand the reasons for the stress that they are going through. Also, I find that playing the piano and music composition is a way for me to relieve my stress.
ReplyDeleteI agree that music does help relieve stress. Music therapy can be easily combined with art therapy because it works in a very similar way to art therapy by revealing the inner feelings. Have you considered using art and music at the same time to relieve stress?
DeleteWow that sounds really cool and fun actually! I haven't, but of course I would never say no to any methods of relieving stress! Of course being a teen can be stressful at times, and I think that this genre of therapy is very interesting. I love both art and music and this seems like a great idea! :)
DeleteYou can always try listening to music while drawing. Listening to the right music when you're stressed out can really help. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteI too believe that art is one of the many great forms of stress relief. Many of us have creativity that is buried deep inside under the responsibilities of our everyday life, but simply taking the time to enjoy and occupy ourself with art is a wonderful way to find our enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteThank you My-linh for sharing this! I'm sure many of those who struggle under the pressure of school and work would love to try art therapy!
Keep up the good work!
Art is a good form of stress release, it allows us to be calm and express our feelings.
