7. Creating
There are so many lovely things that we can fiddle with, sculpt, draw, paint and generally make a mess with.
- Getting stuck into kids' things like Wikkistix (sticky pipecleaner type things), Play-doh or even better, the edible version - sugar paste
- activities you might normally dismiss as too naff but which can be deeply engrossing:
sewing
knitting
origami
painting, drawing - even colouring in
- playing some kind of musical instrument. Even if you don't really know how to play, picking out tunes is a way to concentrate and help get rid of the urge to harm yourself.
- taking photographs. Absolutely don't worry about the end result, and play around with taking photos of:
small parts of objects (eg of street furniture, flowers, clothes, luggage....)
light and shade
splashes of colour
the shapes that groups of people make
- and then... sorting photos, into albums, shoe boxes, sides of sofas etc
- and if that's too daunting, dust off the old albums and have a nostalgic hour or two with them
