How can you boost your mental health?
Here’s a tool for you:

Yep! You got it right!
It’s a mix of journaling and art.
You can use it when you feel a little down.
Here’s how you can give it a go.

3. Start journaling.
For example you can write down:

Just write down what you’re experiencing.
4. Take the art form you’ve chosen and turn your writing into art.
For example, imagine you’ve written about a problem you have with a friend.
And imagine you’ve also written your emotions associated with that.
Well, do this:
→ Take your art form (a drawing pencil, for example)
→ Turn that writing into a sketch.
5. When you’ve finished your art, ask yourself:
→ “How do I feel now?”
95% of the time, you’ll feel much better
