Art Therapy

260806 sat
went for a talk abt art therapy. so cool! art is more den just drawing; it includes using clay, music and leaves too. anything creative u can think of. take caution tho', do not give puppets to angry children as they might bang the dolls on the table. or take risk in giving teen gangs pebbles lest they end up throwing it at each other =p wow, every single detail in a drawing by a client contains impt msg, even such things as whether lines are smooth or joined in sharp angles. lightness of strokes might reveal a weak character while drawing below one's age (young child draws onli like a toddler) could mean regression. to prevent overanalysis (or making assumptions w/ just 1 drawing), look out for repeated patterns in different drawings. ooo, art therapy is oso for everyone - those w/ problems or those who think they're happy but wan to noe more abt themselves. so, dear frens, next time u're stressed, u could try taking time out to relax by drawing/painting =)
hee, so glad to have went out. thanks baby -_< for those who havent watched "click!", go watch =p happy birthday to gie gie too.

Gimme a Dose of Positivity.

have been learning abt the importance of positive thinking over the past few mths. but come to think of it, didn really think abt how to think positvely... mind & body are alike. i think we dun have to wonder too much as to whether emotions or actions come 1st: they go 2gether. being in a state of mind affects how we act. likewise, how we act can also affect how we feel/think. if we're unhappy, we can CHOOSE to feel better by forcing ourselves to smile. we can try looking up at the sky the next time we find our heads hanging down.
easier said than down tho'. i find it difficult to cheer myself up (more tips anyone?). need some time to get over it. heez. n mayb sometimes just wanna stay tired n unhappy, after getting there??
had a bit of a shock & trauma (okie, tt's putting it too seriously). nvm, i shan't elaborate. oh, just got a call from my classmate who asked 4 e no. of another fren. i curiously asked y and she said "go clubbing". suddenly had an envious pang. nope, clubbing isnt my kind of thing. just wished tt i had tt kind of freedom to go out whenever & wherever i liked. mayb 'cause they're foreign students so their parents cant check. but i asked. n she said her mum allows her to go out late into e night occassionally. awww.
btw, something interesting i'd learnt in sch - false memories can easily be implanted in ppl.

1238. tiredness is a state of mind.
