creativity for mental health

how a brush pen helped my anxiety

Nine years ago I picked up a brush pen for the first time.

And it wasn't because my therapist was always recommending some kind of creative practice.

I'd always loved to draw and doodle and I didn't understand just how much that would help with my anxiety.

But then I started lettering.

And it changed my life.

the outlet i needed

train your brain

At first I just started lettering random quotes and phrases. I wasn't very good at it but I enjoyed the process of spending time with these words and phrases that I liked.

But the more I lettered, the more I realized, those phrases were sticking with me.

I found that my brain was gravitating towards them even when I wasn't lettering.

My brain was spending more time focusing on positive phrases.

And I felt more positive, too.

creating for mindfulness

it's all about the process

It was the process of lettering that helped me to refocus my anxious brain.

But I know it can be hard to focus on just creating when you are worried about how something might turn out.

So I created a book to help.

The book is designed with 30 days of positive phrases in 5 unique lettering styles to TRACE.

YES, you trace them!

Tracing is a great way to practice and learn lettering, but it also takes the pressure off of having to MAKE something with your lettering.

You can focus on the message of your lettering rather than what it looks like.

You get to just relax and enjoy the process.

No-pressure creativity

  • Choose your binding style (top spiral is great for lefties!)
  • Choose base kit or kit + tracing add-on (best value).

one more thing:

we don't have to be perfect.

Why is it that we expect ourselves to be perfect at something when we've never tried it before?

This book isn't about having perfect lettering. Yes, you will likely get better at lettering the more you practice, but that's not the goal of this book.

Instead, I want to encourage you to enjoy the process.

Just HAVE FUN with it!

We are allowed to enjoy things even if we're not "good" at them!

The benefits of mindful lettering apply no matter what your lettering looks like. This isn't for a museum. It's not about making something "perfect."

It's just for YOU.
