We know that drawing and painting aren\u2019t for everyone so why not try something different, like collaging? Start by cutting out magazine pictures to create a vision board of your goals and hopes for the future. This can help us gain self-awareness and can increase positive emotions and optimism!<\/p>\n<p>Would you be interested in a vision board workshop?\u00a0 email me and maybe we can put something together at a future date &#8211; <a href=\"mailto:cbuchanan@blackurnmedia.ca\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cbuchanan@blackurnmedia.ca<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong><em>CMHA Lambton Kent is here to help.
