Today the term "Mental Health" has many connotations, some negative and some positive. The sheer fact that we even have these words as common vocabulary means the mental health conversations have sparked across the globe. That is something that used to be a huge taboo and I for one am glad the conversations are being had now. Art is a massive drain mentally and emotionally, in fact, artists use this mental "fuel" to work and to feel accomplished. With that fact present, we must also agree that fuel needs refilled and aka Mental Health Days are real and are needed for the striving Artist. How do you go about a mental health day? We can break that down into 3 main ideas: Distance, Distraction, and Relaxation To check out more head on over to: www.cosmicconnection.net
