Creative activities do so much for the mind and soul. They can develop confidence and discipline, help mental focus, increase problem-solving skills and calm anxiety. Basically, they help us stay young. Activities that enable us to use our hands engage mental activity. Gardening, cooking, painting, drawing, playing piano and creative decorating can enhance clarity and foster the learning part of brain function. Art related projects can help to express troubled feelings and difficult insights. Trauma, transition, and recovery all can be aided through art related activities as well as other creative endeavors. When feelings seem overwhelming, reach for a brush or a spade. Miracles may happen.
