Temporary Tattoos to help with anxiety?

Hey :wave:

I spotted this article over the weekend on Huffington Post and I wondered if any of you guys had tried anything similar or think that these temporary tattoos could help you to cope when you're feeling hard on yourself?

Have a read and let me know what you think? It reminded me a bit of the butterfly project which I know some of you have mentioned before..

    This would definitely be worth a try - especially if the creator used them herself to cope with her own problems.

    I love it when I hear about someone who uses their own experiences as a way to also help others.

    I want the breathe one - I'm constantly telling myself to breathe.

    I'm a huge fan of real tattoos and never really thought about getting something similar to what this person creates, but after seeing this... Plan!

    I struggle with anxiety, and low confidence- im thinking of giving it a shot. :)

    Oooh, I saw something about this on Facebook, -Goes to find link-

    Ooh, this BuzzFeed one - http://www.buzzfeed.com/maggyvaneijk/hearts-and-hands#.nmar6Zl8d

    I love how informative BuzzFeed can be, yet, get to the point, and is never a boring read!! xD - Maybe it's all the pictures. I might have to invest in some positive tattoo's, or find out how you make them and make some myself!!
