Try doodle drawings if you feel stressed or need a creative outlet to express yourself. Purposely focusing on pen strokes and patterns to fill your sketchbook fosters a meditative state of mind that keeps you rooted in the present. There’s a reason these shapes work so well: ocean forms are naturally rhythmic. One curved line becomes a wave band. A few tiny circles become a bubble trail. A spiral becomes a shell, and suddenly your page has movement instead of clutter.
