How do I get back into my hobby

Hi, firstly thanks for taking the time to read this :)

Back to my question, I always used to be big into Art - drawing and colouring are my strengths and I find it very theraputic. Art is also one of the few hobbies I have outside of academia, as I cannot play sports to save my life.

However ever since it became an anxiety trigger and stress during AS levels I haven't managed to fully get back into it. I've done bits and bobs but I want to kind of use it as part of my self help as well.

Any tips on how I can get back into it or stop seeing it as a stress but a fun hobby

@amkett - Have you ever heard of The Artist's Way (Julia Cameron)? It made a huge difference to me. Maybe you'd like to have a look at it?

Try a different medium something simple like adult coloring books and work your way back to what really interests you slowly by reducing pressure on yourself and having fun
