Mindfulness Daily Checkin January 11,2018

We face difficulty to manage our worries when we are stressed or anxious. Often it feels like mind is participating at many athletic events simultaneously. Sometimes even different tips, tricks to deal with stress or coping mechanisms for anxiety not work effectively.

Sometimes we struggle to tackle our anxiety and stress. Then, probably we need to look for other ways or maybe cultivating a new hobby?

Yeah! Hobbies could be a nice mechanism to deal with anxiety or stress in a better way. When you indulge in such hobbies, it works as lovely distractions for your super active mind.

Like, making a painting in a workshop or in a group could help to recover from mental illness in a better way as it makes person feel valued and accomplished for what they did. Paintings, even allow to think out of the box and bring out your creativity. Even if you are bad at drawing and painting like me, no worries, still this is worth your try.

Roll up your sleeves, have a pencil and paper or some colors. And draw your thoughts. Such activities need great deal of focus as you start working on tiny details like giving a sharp edge at one point, bringing curves and all. It allows you to have some time with yourself. And while painting or drawing, you will realize that you not thinking about your problems, struggles and so and feeling calm, relaxed and mind racing to bring out the best creativity of yours.

Painting not your cup of tea? Probably Gardening could become your mug of coffee?? Planting, pruning, trimming is such an amzing hobby that relaxes your mind muscles and you feel relieved from tensions. Wouldn't you like watching some saplings planted by you growing old? It feels like a kid growing in front of you as strong man or beautiful woman. The smell of leaves, flowers, petals, watching the roots getting thick and strong, branches growing. It gives you an emotion, a feeling which couldn't be summed up in words.

Gardening not your mug of coffee? Then, maybe free writing maybe your glass of water. When you thinking, you actually feel like a mess. So many thoughts mixed there. Let fix it by free writing your thoughts on a paper unconsciosuly. A past event or memory haunting you? Try to write it down. It will help you to heal from those scars.

Sowwie mates! Actually, those are my hobbies that work for me when I am anxious or feeling stressed. Those hobbies allow me to have a sense of enlightenment, observing own thoughts and environment from a new perspective. What about you?

What hobby you think could be helpful to tackle the stress or anxiety? Let's try to cultivate some hobbies together.
