Here's how you can use creative outlets to relieve stress and advance your career.

Its very important to have a hobby which can be turned into a passion project at work to keep you going : ) Can be as simple as joining a Book Club or a Photowalk or as simple as a Campus Walk everyday where you can be you : )

Bei Tätigkeiten, wo der Geist nicht produktiv sein muss, sind wir häufig am kreativsten: unter der Dusche, auf dem Fahrrad etc. Deshalb dürfen diese Tätigkeiten einen höheren Stellenwert in unserem Leben bekommen. So erreichen wir sowohl Erholung und Ausgleich als auch fördern wir kreative Geistesblitze. ✨

Creativity or any creative activity diverts all our attention in creation of a new product. So it lets us forget all our worries and stress. Whenever I'm stressed I do Arabic calligraphy, it relieves me and increases my trust on the creator.

Any activity that makes you feel happy in the moment can be your dopamine release and make you feel less stressed. It may happen that even in the midst of the activity your mind goes back to the stressful thought, which is quite natural. All you need to do is be aware that it’s slipped away and then gently bring it back to wherever you are. It listens to you. Artistic activities, nature walks, light conversations and laughter help to take your mind off what’s bothering you

As an Art Therapist, I recommend Art therapy for stress management, which involves using creative processes to express and process emotions, offering a therapeutic escape from daily pressures. Engaging in activities like drawing, painting, or sculpting allows individuals to externalize and confront their inner experiences, promoting self-awareness and emotional release. This non-verbal expression can reduce anxiety, lower cortisol levels, and induce relaxation. Guided by a trained therapist, art therapy provides a safe space for exploration and healing. It encourages mindfulness and a sense of accomplishment, helping individuals develop coping strategies, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being.

One thing I found that works for most of my clients is to make them get involved in artistic activities where they don’t have to think. Our mind is kind of on ‘ Think mode’ all the time. Activities where it doesn’t have to work, it can just let itself loose, those work well for some

Using art and journaling for stress management involves creative expression and reflective writing to process emotions and reduce tension. Writing increases self-understanding, promoting relaxation and self-regulation. Journaling complements this by providing a structured way to explore thoughts and experiences, offering clarity and emotional release. Both practices can lower stress hormones and induce mindfulness. Combining art and journaling creates a powerful therapeutic routine, helping individuals develop coping strategies, enhance mood, and foster a deeper understanding of themselves, ultimately improving overall mental well-being.

Für mich und meine Klienten bewährt sich ein "50-Minuten Braindump". Alles, was im Kopf herumschwirrt, wird händisch aufgeschrieben, egal welche Reihenfolge, einfach raus. Egal ob Privat, Geschäftlich, Einkaufslisten, To-dos oder was auch immer. Am Anfang sprudelt es meinst, dann wirds weniger und kurz vor Ende der 50 Minuten kommt noch mal einiges. Wichtig: - Nicht im Prozess sortieren - Die Sortierung / Delegieren / das Löschen von Aufgaben etc. kommt erst nach den 50 Minuten Am Ende wird der Kopf erleichtert sein & man bekommt eine klare Vorstellung, was der nächste wichtige Step ist

Oh yes, tailored musical intervention has been proven to have multiple benefits for multiple mind and body conditions. Even listening freely to music that you enjoy, helps relieve stress and reduce anxiety. I’ve been reading about the simplest activities like whistling and humming and how they help the body. Playing a song or an instrumental piece of music and simply moving to it freely is a stress buster.

Jegliche Form von Bewegung hilft den Kopf zu befreien. Meine Empfehlung - kein Podcast mit Business relevanten Themen. Musik oder andere Themen helfen, damit der Kopf wirklich abschalten kann beim Sport. Beim Sport ist wichtig, dass etwas gemacht wird, was auch wirklich SPAß macht. Nur dann wird man es regelmäßig machen und so eine Routine im Umgang mit Stress für sich entwickeln können.

We are chained to our chairs most of the day. Our bodies were not designed to be this sedentary. Movement allows the blood and energy to flow instead of stagnating, helping to ward off tension, induce a relaxation response, and reduce stress. While you may not have the time for classes or exercise, there is plenty of opportunity to incorporate a variety of movements and activities. Microbreaks to stand, stretch, shimmy, or tense / release allow you to engage in a greater variety of movement. A few moments between tasks or when off-camera is all it takes. As you go about your other activities, think about how you can move more. For example, you could hold a squat to pick something up or sit on the floor instead of the couch.

For me, cooking and preparing food is sharing love. This is more than just the adage that the way to the heart is through the stomach. Homemade food nourishes body, mind, and spirit for the cook and the eater. Preparation certainly helps to reduce my stress. Bread, cookies, or complex meals are signs I needed a break from work. I don't follow recipes; they are guidelines. There is a creative element in combining all the seasonings and ingredients and how they tantalize the senses. As each ingredient is handled & prepared, I give a moment of gratitude to all the people involved in getting it to my kitchen from the field. Chopping helps to work out emotions, yet a singular focus is required so the knife doesn't accidentally cut a finger.
