Art Each Day Helps Stress Stay Away
It’s proven that creating art helps to lower blood pressure and help stress. While it’s not 100%, creating does help! I’ve had stressors in my life recently and participating in the Index Card A Day challenge (ICAD) has helped me take even just a bit of time to create a small work of art.
Most recently, below are some of the most current cards I created with lots ‘o texture. Interested in knowing more? Search #icad. I shared some from the first half HERE. It runs through the end of this month. I’m keeping up although it’s been challenging at times. Nonetheless, I’m grateful for art. Art sure helps save some of my sanity. How about you? What lowers your blood pressure or lifts your spirits?

I agree totally, I have to do something creative everyday to make me feel calm.
I’m also doing ICAD and agree it can be stressful keeping to schedule, but it’s so nice seeing it come together, this is my first year doing it so really didn’t know where it would go for me.

Donna, I’m so glad to know you’re doing ICAD as well. It’s so important, isn’t it?
