I stumbled upon a trend for spreading kindness that I absolutely fell in love with. Painting rocks. I never thought I’d had the creativity or patience to create any kind of art inside of me but after recovering from cancer, diving or should I say drowning myself in work to numb and forget about my diagnosis and how it changed my life I desperately searched for something to bring me joy and happiness. Something I had forgotten about. I started creating rocks with messages of hope, love, worth, and encouragement. These messages were meant to make an impact on those who receive them. While my rocks are far from perfect, I love every minute I spend creating and giving them to people.
Why should you try to create art? Creating art relieves stress, It’s therapeutic, it alleviates anxiety, depression and stress, encourages creative thinking and imparts other mental health benefits. Anyone can do art. Give it a try.
