Many people have forgotten how to use writing and drawing to restore themselves to calm and balance. Especially in challenging times, this is important. Add the following products to your Sparkling Essentials kit for guidance to reconnect with yourself.
Writing and drawing are not just tools for relaxation — they are powerful instruments for stability and inner strength, especially when everything around you feels uncertain or overwhelming.
Scientific research shows these creative expressions help in several ways:
✨ Reducing stress and lowering the stress hormone cortisol. Studies indicate that expressive writing helps the body relax by decreasing stress hormones (Sloan et al., 2013).
✨ Creating calm and clarity in chaotic times, helping you stay focused and resilient. According to research published in Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts, creative writing can simplify complexity and restore feelings of control, contributing to emotional stability (Smyth & Helm, 2019).
✨ Channeling creative energy, allowing you to discover new perspectives and ideas even when it’s hard to look ahead. Recent studies show that art and writing exercises stimulate the brain to form new neural connections, aiding the development of fresh creative ideas (Karwowski & Beghetto, 2019).
✨ Stabilizing yourself and focusing on what you need to move forward. Research demonstrates that both writing and drawing support emotional well-being and mental clarity (Green et al., 2020).
Writing and drawing provide a solid foundation to process everything you carry inside and create clarity moving forward. They help you both in moments of deep doubt and in times of great inspiration.
