Night Terrors SUCK! I hope you've gotten rid of them! A friend of mine was told to visualize pretty bubbles floating away and popping as they got near the ceiling. It took some time, but it worked! She got shot during a house invasion. The first week she slept through the night without waking, we all went out for pizza and celebrated! After about 6 mos., for her to go a whole week without 1 episode of Night Terrors was definitely pizza worthy! There's still a lot of people that have PTSD from the emotional overload from The Epidemic. We should all be kind and supportive of those that are still suffering. Everybody has their own threshold and recovery rate. If you're over it, be the strong, supportive shoulder they can lean on.
@@sherrylhenning5630 Oh my gosh! That sounds terrifying!! I’m glad your friend is okay now. My night terrors lasted for years. Every time I thought they were gone they would come back if I thought of them. Thankfully I have not had any after talking about them in this video. A lot happened emotionally in my life both good and bad in a short amount of time and it was a lot to process, but I’m doing much better now. 🥰
What a great tool for anxiety ❤
@@aussiecrafter Thank you Di! ☺️
We used to call this mindful meditation. Can be used with art, while walking or any other activity. These days, art is best for me due to age & physical limitations.
I love this video. I have anxiety and depression and a lot going on in life. Art is my therapy. I do so many different things from zentangle art to painting to diamond painting. 💜💜💜
@@PurpleWillowArts I’m so glad you like it! I love Zentangle. There are so many kinds to try.
@@CourageousPainting I think that is why I love it so much. So far on my channel I have posted compilation videos, but I want to film videos that show the process. I think zentangles are so good for anxiety. They can be anything you want them to be.
Thank you, this really comforted me :) I struggle a lot of with anxiety, as well as anhedonia/lack of self worth. It makes it really hard for me to make art, but this reminds me of how good and healthy art is for you. It kind of encourages me to let go. It's relieving :)
I'm glad this helped!
I love these ideas.
I feel very inspired to do draw out my negative feelings on paper in a fun way. Thank you!
I’m glad it helped!
Thank you for making this video and for inspiring me to create through anxiety!
@@marian_hayes You’re welcome! I hope it helps. 🥰💜
I love the lion cup in bubbles! All the drawings are amazing and it made me smile
Thank you so much 😀
Anxiety is a constant companion around my house. I'm grateful for only having a few identified panic attacks!! 🤪 My oldest daughter has them frequently. But my husband, my son, and two younger daughters also struggle with anxiety!! 🤦♀️ Thank you for sharing ideas for coping with it!! 💞 All of the art was wonderful!! 😍 The bubble cub made me think of "I just can't wait to be king!" from Lion King! 🦁 The blowing bubbles helps a person remember to breathe!! 🫧 Such great ideas! 👏👏
I’m glad you enjoyed it! The lion cub made me think of Simba too! I was singing “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” while creating it. 😂
@@CourageousPainting I can totally understand that!! 👍 It was in my head as I watched, lol!! 🤣
Thanks I gotta try this to manage anxiety and depression
I hope it helps. 😊
This actually made me smile. I am really anxious, always have been. I lost my mom 2 months ago and its really hard to get back to drawing. I think this is going to be the best way to start. ❤ thank you
@@siwa242 I’m sorry for your loss. I hope this video brings you some relief.💜
Holycrap your channel is amazing! Thank you for your wonderful, creative and boldly vulnerable content! 🙏🏽

Awesome art, great sharing . Like 788 ♥
Thank you! 🥰☺️
Your pages were all so good. I would feel anxious doing the actual sketch on camera too. But you did an awesome job with it.
@@lozantoninocreations Thank you Loz! I was so nervous.
Thank you for sharing I also suffer from panic attacks I understand how you feel. I’m saving this video so I can practice this when I’m overly anxious ❤
I’m glad it helped. ☺️
I enjoyed this video so much!! 😊
The sea monster and the ship was such a brilliant addition to the page and the girl blowing bubbles was such a beautiful picture!
Thank you Cassie! 💜💜💜
I loved everything but the cub is the cutest of them all! I'm partial to animals. I thought his expression was so adorable!
I would love love love if you dressed up for Halloween to do your video!!
Thank you! 😊 All I have to do is figure out what costume to make lol, no pressure!
@@CourageousPainting Are you leaning toward cute or scary?
@@deannefalise2784 I’m thinking more cute.

@@Emmawow12 Thank you! 🥰
@@CourageousPainting np
The scribble page is a really cool idea, it kind of reminds me of the reverse colouring book! I always struggle with those kind of things though because I don't have much of an imagination 🥴
@@ChantelleArts Oh your’re right! I need to get a reverse coloring book and try one out!
I think that I have so many ideas/projects in my head, that that's what's making me anxious.
Because I want to stop what I'm working on to go to the next art project.
I even write them down and sketch them so I don't forget them and can come back to them later, but I have so many projects planned out that I won't have enough lifetime to do them all.
Hopefully your ideas will work.
I know the feeling. Sometimes I just try to work on the most exciting/easy thing and go from there.
Hi! This was a good video to unwind me after a very stressful day - thank you!!!
I think that the sea monster is rescuing the ship from stormy seas and is taking it safely on its way out of danger.
The lion cub's expression was like a cat or a dog, happily being gently scratched where they can't reach, or a having a blissful cuddle at the end of a long day. All the 'bubbles' represent the endorphins being released by the cuddle / scratch.
The little girl is recovering from her bad day - her best friend had been nasty and she was very upset when she got home, so her mother showed her how to make some bubbles with washing up liquid & water, then they went into the garden together to blow bubbles in the sunshine and calm her breathing.
(This family recycles things so there is a box of the ring things used when they bought ready-made bubbles at the shop when they went out.)
Well, these are my stories, so thank you again, this time for doig the art work which set my imagination into motion to make the stories.
I enjoy doing blobs, or using the shapes on the paper where I've checked mixed colours on to play 'What can I see...". I like your scribbles, and think I'll try that, too. Thank you for the idea!
And finally, thank you for your openness and honesty about your own stress issues. It is appreciated - it's good for us, because it helps us to feel less lonely in our dark places. 🤗 😊
Thank you for such a beautiful comment. It makes me happy to hear my sketchbook ideas put your imagination in motion. 🥰 I'm glad it helped you relax after a stressful day. 💜 💜 💜
This was fantastic 👏
I'm about to go sketch now!❤
Yay! I’m glad it helped!
This is the first video I've seen from your channel and I loved it. Thank you!
I’m so glad! 😊
I need this today! Thank u!❤
You're so welcome!
Thank you. I really needed this today. 💖🙋♀️
Happy to help! 💜
Great video
WOW! Awesome video, great art, and super cool ideas. 😃👍🏼
I've had panic attacks, and depression ....... am doing a lot better these days....still have a bad day (More than a "normal bad day") from time to time, but..... most of the time, I'm doing pretty good, now. I'm happy to hear that you were able to find a coping method... and a release.... that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. 😊👍🏼
Thank you so much! 🥰
You're welcome.
Thank you for this great idea.

Welcome!
What about art to help unwind or calm down? Like melatonin of art to end the day.
This is a great idea!

Hi, can you tell me what sketchbook you are using in this video please?
Also, omg! Bubble painting! I haven't done that since I was a kid! I may have to teach my nephew when school breaks for summer 😂
It is the 8.3 x 8.3 inch, Leda Art Supply Sketchbook
It's my new favorite sketchbook. I love that it's flexible. I can bend it in half if I want to work in it on my lap. I added the affiliate link to my video description.
Your nephew will love bubble painting.
*One* video for Halloween??? Umm no a month please!
Lol I might be doing two. 😉
yes please halloween art!

you sound like such a lovely person! thank you for this video.
You got it! 🥰
Okay, but if you're a perfectionist like myself, not making your idea look exactly right/perfect could make you more anxious.
@@mandymorrow5473 Perhaps I need to make a video about perfectionism. 🤔
@@CourageousPainting, I'd love that.
Hi beautiful awesome work💟💖💖💞💗💛💗💞💟💖💝💛💕💟💕💟💖💛❤💛❤❤💞💖💜💜
