Doodles & Sketches
Doodles
Sometimes when we are too focused on something, we overthink things, especially the little details that often don’t matter. As a result of focusing on the small details, we fail to see the big picture. By doodling, we don’t pay as much attention to the small details of the information we absorb. Instead, we tend to focus on overarching ideas, which are paramount to seeing the big picture.
Sketches
Drawing clearly benefits our mental health. On one hand, drawing favors concentration and helps us to acquire it, as when we draw, we can be focused on what we want to get across, and not on other things. Also, it helps to distract us from difficult problems or difficult situations that we may be going through, while we do something relaxing and which allows us to go our own pace and create unhindered pieces of art.
