How To Protect Your Mental Health As A Creative

As we close out the month of Mental Health Awareness and skip to the Memorial Day weekend, our team at Onyx DNA looks forward to not just time off from work but also disconnecting from daily distractions so we can hear our thoughts and ideas. 

When do you come up with your best ideas?

Sometimes traveling and getting away from where you live can help you discover new things that make you feel happy and fulfilled.

Pro Tip: You don’t have to travel far, sometimes a vacation can be outside your doorstep!

Explore creating some form of art to ignite your creativity. Indulge in creative writing, storytelling, or journalism to express yourself, develop self-confidence or problem-solving skills.

Going dancing can relieve anxiety. Discover nature and get your steps in by going on a hike or simply walking in a park. The idea is to feel good and be revitalized through the mental health benefits of creativity. Consider these fun activities encouraging you to create art, walk, dance, or write, and watch those creative juices flow.

Until then, Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
