It’s the dreaded exam season people, a stressful time for students everywhere. But did you know that it’s been proven that simple doodling and creative writing can dramatically reduce stress levels. It’s so easy to get caught up in negative emotions, we’re all human after all.
Simply picking up a pen and enjoying the process of creating is a form of meditation, and those creative folks over at uniball have affirmed that you don’t have to be an artist to benefit.
Uniball’s new www.GoCreativeEscape.comcampaign has been created for those wishing to escape the stresses and strains of life, and in particular, students heading into the stressy exam period. The site is packed full of videos of simple creative exercises designed to provide immediate distraction from negative emotion, and instead enhance balance and flow – similar to that of a meditative state.
I especially enjoyed uniball’s Pen Friends exercise (check it out below)
We’ve been told that there’s a heap of #CreativeEscape competitions going to be running across the uniball social media channels offering heaps of chances to win pens and lots of other goodies. Follow https://www.facebook.com/uniballfanpage/ for more info!
