Turn to the Arts

From Happify Daily

In times of distress, reaching for those watercolor paints or the guitar collecting dust in your closet may not be your first instinct. But the arts—visual, performing, creative writing, or even movement-based creative expression—may have a profound healing effect in difficult moments like these.

In fact, research suggests that creating art may reduce cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, and lead to a more positive mental state. Even if you aren’t feeling particularly creative, try to carve out some time where you can draw, paint, sing, or simply watch a performance that sparks joy or wonder…

Quilling is one of the most relaxing art forms. Students in our classes have reported that the act of quilling helps them destress from daily work pressure, and provides a sense of pleasure, peace and self-satisfaction by creating something beautiful.
