Sometimes, a person simply needs a mental health break – a few minutes in the day to focus outside of their own head. There are lots of tools available on the market to help refocus your attention and wellness programs that will help you center yourself. However, a simple, effective tool may already be hiding out in the corner of a bedroom or closet. Lego’s.
“Getting very involved deeply involved in a creative task can be great for well-being, mindfulness, relaxation,” said Carrie Barron, the director of creativity for resilience at Dell Medical School.
