It can be hard to talk about mental health issues - but not being afraid to talk about them is the first step to overcoming them. Sadly, on some occasions, not being able to get the much-needed help may even lead people to cause self-harm. Recently, to help those in need, one Tumblr user shared something her therapist advised her to do to stop self-harming.
She suggested that instead of inflicting self-harm, you should draw something pretty where you want to cut. According to the user, this helped her stop and she urges everyone who experiences self-destructive behavior to try it.
"Zentangle" is a relaxing method of drawing where you focus on each stroke instead of the end result. "There is no up or down to Zentangle art. If fact, you can most easily create Zentangle art by rotating your tile as you tangle -- always keeping your hand in a relaxed position," describes "Zentangle's" website. "You don't need to know what a tangle is going to look like to draw it. You just need to know the steps. The result is a delightful surprise."
