Don’t crash out… create 🫶🏾🎨🖌️

Hi beautiful people! It’s officially 2025 and one thing I’m choosing for myself this year is to actually use healthy coping mechanisms. In 2024, I knew what they were but still avoided them and quite literally was crashing out. In 2025, they’re going to be my go to. Instead of sad music, we’re tapping into uplifting and inspiring music. Instead of aimless games on my phone (paired with the sad music), we’re choosing artist brain activities (shout out to the Artist’s Way!) like sketching or painting or even going for a drive. We have more control than we realize- it’s about time we act like it. For reference, here’s a peek inside my current sketchbook. Enjoy 💕 I hope this helps someone.🫶🏾 #copingtools #art #artistsoflemon8 #arttherapy
