These are strange, unsettling times we find ourselves in… With so much uncertainty in the world, it is understandable why so many of us are feeling anxious or stressed.
Finding activities that keep you grounded and focused on the present is so important for our mental well-being.
Painting, playing an instrument, cooking, sewing or drawing can all offer you some immersive escapism from the world outside. You also get an amazing sense of achievement – something you don’t really get from plugging yourself into the TV (even if you have mastered how to use the remote control!).
The activity on the top of our list of rewarding activities is to play with clay! It’s tactile, engaging and so unbelievably rewarding.
The minute I put my hands on some clay, I can literally feel my stresses slip away from me. What better way to feel grounded than touching something that comes from the ground!
