Playing around on procreate. If anyone has any tips, or resources I’d appreciate it. I’ve been researching how to create a coloring book & all this technology is new to me. But loving it so far.

Art of the day

[ashley leblanc @easypassion1]

I’m so glad I’ve had some down time today to get some cleaning done & work on my art. Whenever I work on my art I feel less anxious and feel more connected to myself.

The start of something new!

[ashley leblanc @easypassion1]

I was just talking with my aunt about alcohol use being a norm in society and how binge drinking in college is normalized. On the other hand, she also brought up how she sees more younger adults now than when she was growing up choosing not to consume alcohol.

Drinking is ubiquitous in American culture, but in the midst of the booze, sobriety is having a moment in the spotlight. @KatieWitkiewitz explores the sober-curious movement and how abstaining from alcohol for even a short period can be beneficial. https://t.co/EL54FYGZke

Last nights work. Still got a bunch to do

[American Psychological Association @APA]

A recent survey showed that 45% of college students were food insecure in the prior 30 days. Psychologists are studying how this impacts everything from self-esteem to grade-point averages, and are working to develop solutions. https://t.co/dPqtIoeSdS

When you are feeling uneasy or tense, try to question your thoughts. Why am I thinking this way? Question your negative feelings as it can help alleviate them. It helps process your emotions and questioning them helps to rationalize and be more present in your life.

Overprocessing emotions vs. processing them.💡

[ashley leblanc @easypassion1]

“Over processed emotions make us want to shut out the world, like a bad headache, while whole, processed emotions give us the means to be present to what is without losing energy.” By @SheriannaBoyle in #emotionaldetox

[ashley leblanc @easypassion1]

“So often we overdo us on what we don’t have or wish could be better. This type of thinking and reacting clogs the connection to the life force and inhibits our ability to truly sense the movement of emotions, leading to overprocessing.” By @SheriannaBoyle in #emotionaldetox
