Art

My favourite hobby.


I love the tactile process of drawing, and I think it is a great way to channel our creativity and satisfy our natural desire to make something with our hands. And even after drawing so many times, I still find it quite exhilarating to see my (better) drawings come to life, knowing that I created them with my own hands, starting from a blank page.

As an artist, you may have noticed how drawing improves your mood, makes you feel less anxious and can really turn around a bad day. According to this HealthLine article, drawing can also help reduce stress, boost mindfulness, interrupt rumination and help you enter a flow state.

Art therapy has helped many people since its introduction in the mid-1900s, so a little bit of creative activities that we often take for granted can really influence our quality of life.
