Expressive Arts for Health and Wellness

Today I am digging into my fabulous new art kit I received as a Christmas gift! I find creative projects to be soothing, cathartic, and a great way to express myself.

According to art therapist Cathie Malchiodi, "Art has the potential to transform lives and often in profound ways; research is demonstrating that art improves not only our quality of life, but also is effective in reducing pain, fatigue and stress and increasing cognitive abilities and emotional well-being."

I couldn't agree more.

Do you enjoy creative projects? Do you creativity helps to manage stress and improve emotional wellness?
