Benefits of being creative

Working on yourself creatively can be advantageous in many ways. Here are some benefits for you to consider…

 It can help you to harmonise your mind with your soul and body. (How many times do we leave our bodies out of the wellness equation?)
 It can help you to discover and express things about yourself that you don’t have words for.
 It can uncover hidden things, bringing unconscious things into our awareness.
 It can allow you to get more in touch with your emotions and feelings, rather than being stuck with your thinking, your over-thinking and your unwanted thinking.
 There is a high probability of growth and change (for the better) for those who regularly practise creativity and expression.
 Working creatively helps you look at the world (or your issues, dilemmas or decision-making, etc.) from a different perspective than by thinking or by being verbal. This can help you get out of stuck patterns of thought and behaviour.
 The action of doing creative things helps to take energy away from the actions of being anxious and being in a state of panic.
