Do you find yourself waking up at night with a pounding chest? Or maybe not sleeping at all?
Are you stressed about whether you’ll make your mortgage, how your kids are doing...
or the general state of the world?
Are you short-tempered or find it hard to concentrate?
Are you exhausted and shutting down?
Are your thoughts in a negative spiral?
I’ve experienced every one of these signs myself.
While there is no ONE simple thing that will solve all of our anxiety with a magical snap, I’d like to share one easy activity that has eased my anxiety and has the power to ease yours.
Neurographic art is accessible art that to help anyone.
It’s perfect for all ages.
It can be done alone or in groups.
It can even be done while watching a movie or listening to a book.
It doesn’t require any artistic talent, manual dexterity, or previous practice.
All it requires is some paper, pens, and something to add color.
After learning about neurographic art, I began to practice on my own. I developed some of my own techniques and artistic style, but there are unlimited ways to do this, and they all work to help you smooth your nerotransmitters and ease your anxiety.

Leading scientists around the world have used neurographics in art therapy programs to reduce stress, increase mindfullness, and engage the right brain.
Scientific studies show that neurographics can help ease PTSD, stuck emotions, trauma, and anxiety.
True story: I now bring my notepad and a couple of pens with me wherever I go. If the news stresses me out, or I have a few minutes of time and don’t want to doomscroll on my phone (talk about anxiety-provoking!),
I start a new drawing.
I’ll share lots of examples of how neurographic art can be used, some background about why it works, and plenty of pictures highlighting different techniques.
