Watching creators you enjoy on YouTube …
It’s relaxing and you can also learn some new ideas or ways to draw or create too!
Drawing …
There’s lots of ways to do that – but one of the Board Members loves to sketch all the time – even during meetings as that helps them to understand what is going on. They use a black pen and markers, and sometimes likes to paint. A couple of other Board Members love to use ipads to create their drawings and artworks.
Making art …
One of the OHOV Board Members says ‘it makes me feel wonderful!’ If you’d like to have a go at creating some art but are stuck for ideas, Pinterest has loads of inspiration.
Slime …
Make and play with slime (or sometimes buying it from a shop)
Poetry/ Creative Writing …
Expressing yourself through poetry or other forms of creative writing can help you relax and can also help you understand difficult or confusing feelings.
Doing something with your hands …
Some things you could try are giving yourself a hand massage, using loom bands to create a mini sculpture, squeezing a squishimal or one Board Member loves to rip up paper into tiny pieces.
Playlists …
Make a playlist of songs you enjoy, or that help you relax – if you travel you could play this on your journey.
