Painting for relaxation and mental health

How to paint
Studies link regular creative activity with lower stress and better mood. You don't need talent — you need time.
Try 20 minutes, three times a week, with no goal other than enjoying color.
Keep a sketchbook of small experiments and look back after a month to see your progress.
