Some days, we feel as if we barely have time to breathe. Between our work and home responsibilities, most of us have very little time for relaxation, and, when we do, we only have the strength to sit in front of the television. However, you may find that one way to relax is to stretch yourself creatively. Throughout all the mundane things we do each day, our minds become increasingly hungry. Our imaginations crave an outlet. So, when you do have time to relax, why not take some time to let your imagination out? All of us have some artistic talent and all of our talents are unique. Think about what you like to do. Do you draw? Do you paint? Do you play a musical instrument?
Make time to do the creative activities that you enjoy. Write a short story or a poem. Draw a picture. Compose a tune. You can even get a coloring book and some crayons and color while you relax in front of the TV. I like to do beadwork—boxes, plaques. I enjoy the feel of the beads, the colors that they reflect in the light and the limitless possibilities for creating patterns and images. Working on something artistic and enjoyable is an excellent way to rest your body and let your mind and spirit get some exercise. Make some time for art. You’ll feel a lot better for it.
