HAD ENOUGH OF CORONAVIRUS WORRYING? HERE ARE 10 CREATIVE WAYS TORELIEVE ANXIETY
By Leslie Tralli 4
Comments
The world has changed in the space of afew weeks.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has caused drastic upheaval in our lives, and we are all searching for ways to relieve anxiety during this tryingtime.
Whether we are in quarantine, imposing self-isolation or practicing safe social distancing in an effort to flatten the curve,
we are all struggling to make sense of the greater implications of theworldwide pandemic.
At the same time, we must deal with our day-to-day lives, which in many cases have been completely disrupted as our kids are required to stay home from school and we ourselves may be working from home. Naturally, we are all stressed and anxious about the health and safety of our loved ones and the long-term social and economic fallout of the pandemic. As our own anxiety and worries clash with those of our children, the home front can quickly become a hotbed of uncertainty, worry, fear and stress. How can we reduce our family’s stress levels? What
can we do with a houseful of worried people and nowhere to go? What are some creative ways to relieve anxiety? Doing creative activities together as a family is a great way to diffuse some of this anxiety. Art therapy has long been touted as a great stress reliever. Doodling, painting, cutting and pasting have all been shown to lower our cortisol levels,
which are a marker of stress. Art can help put us in that meditative state known as the “flow” or “zone,” letting us escape, if only for an hour or so, the relentless anxiety-provoking news cycle. Here at_ A Fine Parent,_ we have put together a list of art projects that you can do with the entire family to help get you through thesetrying times.
