The aim of this research is to show the importance and examine the impact of creativity and creative action on psychological processes, knowledge of one's own emotional states and unconscious feelings, emotional balance and mental health throughout life. For this reason, the activity of the visual journal was tested with the aim of actively, creatively and openly trying to release emotions, negative, but also positive feelings and thoughts related to teaching and the entire environment. The goal is to see how important motivation, creativity and thinking about one's emotions are for performing both teaching and other tasks, but that this form of creativity should be encouraged in children on a daily basis. This research seeks to contribute to the encouragement of creative expression and creativity and emphasize the importance of a positive impact on nurturing this form of expression of emotions. The theoretical basis is based on emphasizing the importance of creativity, its positive impact and encouragement throughout life. Art therapy is emphasized as one of the forms of positive practice and the use of art expression as a way to release emotions and express individuality, and also the concept of mental hygiene is presented as an important aspect of building a person, sense of self behaviour and open mind to all new information. A very important contribution to this research was made by the work and reflections of the Swiss psychologist and psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, who emphasized the importance and influence of the unconscious part of the human being on the entire life, thinking and creation. By researching man through symbols created during artistic expression, he pointed out that it is precisely the unconscious factors that determine what and in what way a person will express the conscious and experienced. The importance of the power to control one's own moods and feelings and the awareness of countless unconscious indicators that we can become aware of through artistic expression and thus become aware of ourselves and our emotions was emphasized. The results of the research based on the heuristic way of research, ie the research based on one's own experience, indicate the presumed positive influence of awareness of one's own emotions and inner thoughts. The impetus for this type of research was the desire to learn and accept their own ways of expression, which in later work would result in noticing diversity and accepting new challenges in building their own motivation and lifelong work on themselves.
