HI Dinta!
Welcome to foxboroarttherapy.com! Thanks for the great tips on anxiety, especially about alcohol and nicotine. I think a lot of people use alcohol to loosen them up, and unfortunately, for some people, this leads to dependency and other issues. Caffeine is another culprit that drives anxiety and I find folks have to watch their intake. I LOOOOVE coffee, but I too have to be aware like many of my clients.
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!
Cheers,
Amy
Make sure you moderate the amount of nicotine and alcohol that you use. Although other people might believe that alcohol and nicotine could act as relaxers, they will not. They can cause increased anxiety than before using them. Try healthier alternatives like healthy social activities, a healthy diet and relaxation techniques.

Welcome to Foxboro Art Therapy! I so appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. The truth is that anxiety is such a core issue for the majority of my clients that I really wanted to do a comprehensive post that helped inform, normalize, and give hope for creatively dealing with it. Your words are very meaningful given all the work and heart I put into this one particularly. Looking at your site, I am wishing we lived closer! Your retreat looks amazing. I would love to work on transitions out in a beautiful location while communing with horses and making art! I look forward to continued chatting and networking online here and who knows, perhaps one day our paths will cross at a conference or something!
Cheers,
Amy
