Simply observing mandalas helps us relax, promoting a reduction in stress and anxiety.
Art therapy uses art as a means to improve mental, emotional, and social well-being through the creation of visual arts such as painting, sculpture, and drawing. These tools help people control and manage their emotions and learn to express them in the creative process. No prior artistic skill or knowledge is required; the focus is on the creative process itself, training the mind to enter a state of calm.
Today we frequently hear about burnout syndrome, referring to workers in a state of physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion. Specialists affirm that the lack of established self-care routines and the lack of defined time off and disconnection from work are among the factors that contribute significantly to this condition, and therefore recommend activities that help the mind disconnect from the overload of tasks.
Sitting in a quiet space, dedicating at least a few minutes to yourself to draw or choose colors is enough to improve concentration and focus on the present moment, allows you to disconnect from daily worries and induces a state similar to meditation.
Coloring or drawing mandalas can certainly be a psychological support for implementing new habits and promoting a balance between the feeling of not being able to manage one's own time and the encounter with oneself.
