Since May is Mental Health Month, we continue to look at research related to stress, anxiety, and sleep issues.
Moder life is a rush - most of us running through the chaos of daily routine, often staying in bed overwhelmed with unstoppable flow of thoughts and fighting this "I can't sleep" state. Sounds familiar? We live in a world where stress and anxiety turning our bedtime into a nightly battle. A recent US National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) analysis determined that 18.4% of adults in the United States took a sleep medication to fall or stay asleep in the past 30 days. But before you reach for that bottle of sleep aid (natural one hopefully), let's dive into some fascinating studies and then rediscover the magic of natural medicine.
A research conducted in 2020 explored the benefits of Mindfulness Based Art Therapy (MBAT) in helping adults cope with anxiety, depression and fatigue. The results were truly remarkable! MBAT was found to enhance both well being leading to a quality of life and better overall health. Participants engaging in activities, like painting and drawing experienced improved wellness. Many continued to incorporate MBAT into their routines even after the study ended citing its ability to reduce stress by triggering the brains reward pathways resulting in feelings of relaxation and happiness.
Study 2: Calm Through Doodling
In another study individuals underwent near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) scans while engaging in coloring, doodling or free drawing activities. The scans revealed that all three tasks activated the cortex associated with feelings of reward and pleasure. Participants reported feeling more relaxed and creative at the beginning of their coloring sessions with these effects intensifying after a short period.
So, forget how bad you may be at drawing - now and then grab a pensil, iPad or whatever and give your mind a bit of healthy relax from everyday pressure, stress and anxiety. As our ND Marco Sikaffy says - you should love yourself first of all.
