Re: [CHAT] The Comforts of Creativity
I think not the same effect, but definitely similar. And even a bit better. Instead of focusing on the emotion to get it down on a page or whatever, by consuming a creative piece it's more distracting, assuming its not triggering
I guess expressing creativity is more a catharsis for me than a distraction. its important to know when what is appropriate

Re: [CHAT] The Comforts of Creativity
Especially when you're not feeling right and creativity just isn't it for you, you can consume it instead and still made to feel better

Uhhh... by drawing in maths class? It's important to make time for creative pursuits, and I think just finding five minutes to do whatever can be effective. Maybe substituting doing with consuming could work if time is an issue too, like instead if playing violin, listen to it in the car.

Create schedules for when you want to do something, plan to do something with friends so you're more likely going to do it or start a project that you can work on little by little that doesn't take too long to set up/pack up.
