Colored Pencils

Coloring & Doodling

Coloring and doodling spark creativity. When you color you are able to live in the moment and bring attention to more positive thoughts. Coloring is a form of creative self-care that leads to a relaxed mind, reduced stress and anxiety because you are focusing more on coloring a picture and less on troubling thoughts.

Daily Affirmation

Affirmations

Positive affirmations can change the course of your day.  Repeating positive statements out loud will help you turn negative and unhealthy thoughts into positive ones. Our thoughts affect our emotions and our emotions affect our behavior. By repeating or meditating on positive affirmations you can develop affirming self-dialogue. Do this first thing in the morning and throughout your day. You will see a change and win the battle in your mind.

Cute Notebooks

Journaling

Writing in a journal each day allows you to direct your focus on self-care by helping you gain clarity and find solutions. You can focus on what you've accomplished, what your thankful for, and what you're committed to doing better.
