Susan Hensley reveals how art journaling and creative play can transform our approach to life's biggest challenges by shifting us from perfectionism to freedom, from fear to curiosity. We explore how even 10 minutes of deliberate mess-making can bypass our inner critic and unlock solutions our analytical brain can't find.
• Perfectionism and left-brain dominance keep us stuck in patterns of self-criticism and fear
• The brain science behind creativity shows how right-brain activities reduce stress and increase problem-solving
• Art journaling requires no artistic talent – just willingness to scribble, play, and express without judgment
• Major life transitions have three stages: endings (requiring grief), the messy middle, and new beginnings
• Playing with art activates curiosity, which is the true opposite of fear
• Simple practices like drawing what you loved as a child can reconnect you with joy and possibility
• Creative expression provides a safe outlet for processing difficult emotions without harming relationships
• Making a deliberate mess for just 2-3 minutes can interrupt thought loops and open new perspectives
