"I found that whilst doing the collage activity I was concentrating and not getting distracted, and that I was feeling more confident about making judgements and choices."
We all need to get away from it all from time to time, breathe fresh air, focus on the horizon with our eyes, feel the sun on our skin... But how do we do that during a busy day, or at times when we simply can’t get out into nature for a stroll?

Looking at beautiful art can help with pain management. Research subjects rated pain as being a third less intense when viewing beautiful art as opposed to something they considered ugly, or a blank canvas. Electrodes measuring the brain's electrical activity confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at paintings that he or she considered beautiful.
"It was great to have the paintings pinned up in the office, I did this activity every time I went to the printer to collect printouts, it was like a breath of fresh air."
