Stress Relief as Ritual
Life is too stressful to hold on to the things we don’t need, yet if we don’t have the habits in place to help us release what we’re done with, we can end up dragging around a whole lot more baggage than we think. (Image of a woman on vacation with one suitcase, and attached to that a chain leading to a Santa sack that’s as tall as she is).
For the sake of making
When you have an outlet, it allows things to flow. In terms of emotions, I think of this like a river. If the river is dammed, it backs up until the water finds another way to flow. If you don’t process your emotions, then they will find a way to seep out anyway, often in confusing, inconvenient, or uncomfortable ways. Having some method of creative expression can give voice to what’s going on inside you without making things weird, as well as give you insight into what really needs your attention.
