DID YOU KNOW?<\/h2>\n

Have you ever experienced the wonder of getting lost in a creative activity?<\/strong> If not, you\u2019re truly missing out! Painting, designing a garden, woodworking, knitting, baking \u2013 these are just a few examples of the ways we can lose ourselves (and all track of time) in the rhythms of a creative process. What\u2019s more, studies also show that those of us who don\u2019t have a creative outlet may be cheating ourselves out of a robust health habit.<\/p>\n

According to art therapy research done by Drexel University and others, the advantages of taking up an artistic hobby, and creative pursuits are immense, like stress reduction, to name one. They also enhance self-image and strengthen our problem-solving abilities.<\/p>\n

Art therapists say you don\u2019t have to devote a lot of time to creativity either to enjoy its benefits, and you don\u2019t have to be uniquely talented. Full-time, capital-A artists certainly enjoy the benefits of their work, but so do those who consider themselves mere dabblers. The trick is to find the forms of creative expression that inspire you.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then, suspend any tendency to overjudge your work \u2013 focus more on process than results. But honor your creativity by giving it time to develop and flourish.<\/strong> According to researcher, Christine Strang, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, your creative practice should benefit from the same commitment you bring to your work, your exercise, and the time you spend with family and friends.<\/p>\n
