Mini Creations That Calm Stress

Feeling overwhelmed or mentally exhausted?
What if calming your stress didn’t require hours of meditation or expensive solutions — just a few creative minutes?

In this episode of Create Today, Beth Buffington explores how tiny creative acts can gently calm your nervous system and help you build real emotional resilience.

Stress doesn’t usually arrive all at once — it accumulates quietly in the body and mind.

In Episode 105, Beth shares how mini-creations — small, pressure-free creative moments — can help interrupt stress, settle anxious thoughts, and restore a sense of calm.

This episode is a reminder that creativity doesn’t have to be big to be powerful.
