some call it coping skills. others call it taking a mental health day. sometimes it's just a self-care appointment. either way, we need a time out sometimes, and we were never taught how to do it. have you ever tried biting directly into a lemon during an anxiety attack, or using a rage room to exert some of the mental exhaustion? these are just a few of the ideas we will explore to help supplement your traditional treatment plans to use as more engaging ways to cope.

all life begins with a breath of fresh air (or water for our fishy friends). we need that good clean oxygen taken in as much as we need to rid the carbon dioxide out. i use yoga and breathwork on my own as a hobby to stay calm! as an alternative to spending countless hours and dollars on gurus and breathwork coaches, i can show you here how simple it is to do it yourself at home.
i am an author, publisher, songwriter, and video book producer. i share my skills and trade secrets from the industry to level up your writing skills. we do this not necessarily to help you succeed in being a better artist, but instead, to succeed as an energy transmitter from 3D Life to 2D Tangible works of pure fiction and non-fiction bliss. the less in your head, the more that can be read.
we host writer's rounds and open mic nights to share your talents with others in the community!
sometimes, just scribbling it out works. whatever it is keeping you stuck, let it out through your fingertips with pens, markers, paintbrushes, spraypaint, anything! this focused activity provides a break to your logical and reasoning brain, giving it an opportunity to rest and to activate the dormant, sleeping creative side of you. your art does not have to be solid, finished, or even considered "good." this is simply an exercise to let off steam and empty out the noise. for a monthly dose of new creativity experiences, you can subscribe to our art box for a brand new set of ideas as often as you need.
no, i am not an ASMR artist, but we do hear that it has massive impact on calming nerves through soothing tones of those gentle ticks.
and no, i don't host a podcast on mental health using my sensual, seductive voice (yet).
but i do have an extensive background in music theory, performance, and show production. my experience in audio engineering and music therapy has led me to the final resting place of using sound as another productive artform as a coping skill and for healing.
not everyone is a board game player, cards person, or has the patience to work a puzzle. but any type of "fidget" activity like this that gets the wheels spinning on one pin-point problem could be the key to unlocking what is stuck behind the closed doors of the chambers of your mind. we can get busy and overwhelmed with a growing to do list or projects that have piled up around the house, but treating one issue at a time as a secret mission with levels, treats for small wins, or power-ups can trigger the reward centers and provide that tiny hit of dopamine that has been missing!
imagine that - what you take in will affect how you feel and impact what comes out. if you eat large amounts and overindulge, or if you are oftentimes choosing heavier, fermented, or rich foods over light-grown, clean, energetic, and vibrant foods, you can imagine how that might weigh you down physically and mentally, and fog your output. food is medicine, and it is also energy. it has the power to both manifest inside of you as a new creation, causing sicknesses, a need for detox to due parasitic growth, or cause physically painful ailments...as well as become your best friend, fueling your every step and movement if properly managed.
