• Art journaling – Combine words, colour, and imagery to explore emotions. No rules. Just expression.

​

• Music – Make a playlist that reflects how you feel or helps you shift your mood. Sing. Drum on a pillow. Let the music hold you.

​

• Collage making – Cut up old magazines, photos, or newspapers to create visual representations of how you feel or want to feel.

​

• Dance or movement – Gentle movement, swaying, or expressive dance can release held tension and emotion.

​

• Creative writing – Write poems, letters you’ll never send, or stories that let you explore themes in a safe and abstract way.

​

• Photography – Your phone camera is enough to allow you to see the world and yourself through a different lens.
