Stopping by to share what helps me-even more so when things become more complicated. Creativity, for me, it healing in many ways. When the mind is calm the body can do its job better-this is my opinion. I would like to see more done in this area to help patients. Even adult coloring is helping some of my neighbors.

Beautiful zebra, @parus I have heard that many find relaxation in adult coloring books. I think it would just the opposite on me. I would be so frustrated due to my lack of creativity that I would end up very tense. The books I have seen have tiny little areas to color too. UGH

@parus What a beautiful image! Just tonight I was in a Zentangle group, and we did Gustav Klimt inspired tiles. A lady and I discussed how focusing on the creativity of any kind takes your mind to "a different space", and helps you so much. She is "of a certain age" and acknowledged some cognitive impairment. I patiently showed her a pattern. Once, twice, more times than fingers on one hand. We worked through what part of the pattern seemed to be hanging her up, and she finally understood. I used terms until I found what resonated with her. It felt good to help someone like that. Tomorrow when I have my PET scan I am going to be sending tingling in my mind.
