In UF Healing with the Arts, I learned how creative expression can support mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The course introduced me to painting, journaling, movement, and music as tools for self-discovery and stress relief. I realized that art is not just entertainment—it’s a way to process emotions, practice mindfulness, and reflect on personal growth. My biggest accomplishment was gaining the confidence to express myself openly through my work, exploring vulnerability and resilience. This course strengthened my self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and ability to cope with challenges, leaving me with lifelong tools for balance, creativity, and healing.
