Today I will be writing about three topics. One, how art can improve your mood in little time, two, how you can find the beauty in everything around you, and three, how being able to spend time alone is very important. The reason I will be writing about these three topics is because these topics can help people mentally and spiritually, leading them to feeling better and living a peaceful life.
These topics all have something to do with your mental state, and improving it. Say for example, you’ve been having a hard time, and you have been having a lot of mental thoughts and feelings that you may not know how to express, or you may not have anyone you feel comfortable talking to about what your going through. Or you’re just not comfortable talking about how you feel. Art can free your mind by allowing you to free-flow with your thoughts. Art doesn’t have to be “pretty” or look good, art is feeling, art is free flow, art is whatever your mind wants it to be. So, by getting a blank piece of paper or blank canvas, you can dump all your feelings into making something by calming your mind. But art is not just drawings or writing, art is all forms, drawings, pictures, music, working out, etc. Anything you can do that allows your mind to flow freely in your own creative way can be a form of art.
Next, once you calm your mind, and allow yourself to be more relaxed, you will want to remain calm and that leads to; how can you find beauty in everything? Personally being a person rooted deeply in Christ I feel like once you really open your mind and heart you’ll really realize God made everything around you and that itself is enough to be able to find beauty in everything around you. But truly, it takes maturing of the mind, building inner peace, and a calm mindset to really take a second to look around you and see the beauty in all things. Something I personally do that always reminds me how beautiful everything is, when I’m outside or at football practice, or even just driving or riding around, I just look into the sky and just look at the sky all around me, the clouds, and the surrounding nature. It really opens your mind and just makes you think,“ Wow.”
Now, the last but possibly the most important part, how being able to spend time alone is very crucial or important. When you allow time to be alone, it can do a lot of things. For one, it can allow you to take time to be honest with yourself and do some personal reflection. It can allow you to make corrections for growth in areas in your life where you may need to fix some things, or change up or even remove some things. Allowing time alone also allows God to talk to you. The deeper your relationship with him, the more you’ll hear him. But often, people talk about how, sitting in a closed-off area alone in peace and quiet, the lord will be there with you, and you can truly hear him, and he will be there to help you, whatever your life looks like, you’re never too good or bad to hear the words of God. Being alone also gives you time to relax and calm your mind. You may feel like your life is at peace and everything’s all good. But once you take some time alone, it may open up your mind to reflecting, but also, for example, say you have the best day at school or work, once you go home to lay down and be alone for a moment, it’ll feel like you’re finally calm to the max and not thinking or worried about anything just you and a moment of peace.
In conclusion, the three topics of art improving your mood, finding the beauty in everything around you, and spending time alone being important, all go together for the mental aspect of life and just helping feel the peace in life that God wants us to achieve, because the calmer you are, the clearer you think, and the better decision-making you can make, and also the better attitude you will towards others and also for yourself. And when you have good energy it rubs off on others and creates a positive environment around you. People can often feel energy and sense when someone’s energy is high or low, so the better energy you have will not only help you, but it can help others around you, because you never know however you are around others, how it may affect or shift their energy.
