Are You Ready to Doodle Your Stress Away?
Author of The Healing Power Of Doodling says a pencil, crayon or pen can be mighty tools for battling coronavirus anxiety
LOS ANGELES, March 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Most people today are feeling some degree of overwhelm as daily routines are suspended and social distancing becomes the norm. But, according to Carol Edmonston, aka The Doodle Lady, there is a unique, simple and creative way to deal with this intense stress: take some paper, a pencil or pen and ... doodle!
Edmonston, who attributes overcoming breast cancer twice to what she calls her doodling therapy, has just released the pioneering new book The Healing Power Of Doodling: Mindfulness Therapy To Deal With Stress, Fear & Life Challenges.
The niece of the late cartoonist and children's book author Syd Hoff, who wrote Danny and the Dinosaur and Sammy the Seal, among others, Edmonston says doodling is a fun new form of mindfulness which allows our spirits to rest, recover and regroup. "The book is also of great value to anyone who has a chronic or serious illness and for kids, students and caregivers and no artistic skills are necessary," she adds.
In an interview, she will:
- Help people discover the sacred healing art of doodling so that they can enjoy life no matter what challenges they face
- Share some steps for harnessing their sacred doodling capabilities
- Talk about why she is convinced doodling saved her life
