Art is what you make of it and can be an awesome way to just unwind and let go of any pre conceived notions of what it "should" be. Just let it come out and enjoy the creative process.

You changed my perspective on what an art journal really is about, Randy. Instead of seeing it as a book with drawings and ideas, it can be a healthy way to relieve stress and free your imagination to make it come to life on paper. :) Very interesting!

I too treat my art journal as my personal escape pod where I can go and just decompress and escape into the moment and leave all the other distractions behind and forgotten for a little while. I like your idea of an art prompt. We will have put that in motion soon. Would like to hear more about it as I am not all that familiar with the process or "rules." Thanks for the comment Roni.

I usually use my art journal most of the time to relieve stress. It is a sure way to calm my nerves. When I am sick, angry, sad, bored or frustrated my sketchbook/notebook/artjournal keeps me sane. This is a good list. We should swap some art journal prompts/ideas! These are great reasons. I usually use my art journal most of the time to relieve stress. It is a sure way to calm my nerves.
