For my self-care assignment, I experimented with using art as a coping strategy. I just used sharpie and watercolours to create the image. I chose the words “patience, consistency, and balance” as these represent my aspirations for the new year and always help to centre my mindset. I really enjoyed creating this drawing/painting and found it to be very relaxing. It allowed me to express my thoughts and creativity without being bound to strict criteria. I definitely plan on incorporating more art into my schedule as self-care but also just as a way to spend time and express myself!
