繪畫治療

I bought this thinking it'd be a light hobby book, but the opening chapters on why drawing calms the mind actually made me reflect more than I expected. The 80 exercises range from quick five-minute sketches to deeper prompts, so it works whether I have ten minutes or an hour.

The 80 guided exercises kept me going for weeks, and the ones on drawing your own emotions honestly surprised me. I use it most nights instead of scrolling my phone, and it's become a small ritual I actually look forward to.

I've never thought of myself as someone who could draw, but the short intro on the therapeutic benefits won me over before I even picked up a pencil. The exercises are simple enough to do in ten minutes after work, and a few of them genuinely surprised me with what came out.
