Hi, this Heather Kamins for Expert Village. With all of the different feelings and emotions,
fears, worries that come up when you have Lupus, dealing with your stress is really
important. Having a creative way to do that is a really good way to do that. keeping a
journal is probably the most basic. Having a even just a plain blank notebook that you
can write in to write your feelings, anything that comes to mind. Nobody else has to see
it. It's just for you and it really let's you express yourself freely. Talking and writing
about your feelings are two good ways to get those emotions out but other kinds of artistic
expression can help you reach a more subconscious level of feeling. For example, drawing or
painting, other kinds of visual art, singing, playing an instrument, making music. These
are all different ways you can get at feelings you maybe even don't realize you have and
express some of the subconscious fears or frustrations and get those out of your system
too.
