Life today is clearly more stressful, complicated and unpredictable than it has ever been. As a result, many of us are tired, worried, stressed and depleted of our life energy.  Make a choice.

Come and celebrate LIFE and enjoyed a day of deep relaxation, happiness, and connect with other creative souls.

New and seasoned painters welcome! No experience needed!

So many people believe they are not creative. The truth is we were all born with innate deep intuitive creativity and the ability to create a life we love.

We still have this yearning deep inside of us. We can connect into this essence when we let go and trust the process.

I am inviting you to come to paint from the wellspring of your imagination and consider the life you love.

Creativity and the Brain

Painting From the Inside Out Posted on March 22, 2016 by Joyce DillonMarch 22, 2016
creativity and the brain

BY RUTH BUCZYNSKI, PHD

Could it be time for you to get out your painter’s smock and brushes?

A new study by the Mayo Clinic may be just the motivation you need. The clinic recently published findings of their four-year study on risk factors for cognitive aging.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Rosebud Roberts selected 256 participants aged 85 or above, whose cognitive level was deemed within normal limits. They were interested in looking at measures of depressive symptoms, chronic conditions, and midlife onset of hypertension within this group as predictors of mild cognitive impairment.

Researchers took baseline measurements of participants by using a combination of medical records, self-report questionnaires, and other methods. They were repeated at 15-month intervals, and results were adjusted to reflect differences in gender and education.
Their findings were pretty interesting.

Participants who engaged in artistic pursuits proved 73% less likely to develop problems associated with mild cognitive impairment, including memory loss and executive function-related issues.

crafting

Crafting activities, which included ceramics, sewing, and woodworking, were associated with a 43% decrease in cognitive impairment risk.

Researchers also looked at the social element of creative activity and the impact that had on participants. By that, I mean the opportunity to socialize with others that comes with participating in a book club, attending concerts, or traveling.

Engaging in these kinds of activities was associated with a 55% decrease in likelihood of developing cognitive impairments. Also, participants who started using a computer later in life also saw their risk of impairment decrease.

The caveat with this, though, is that the people in this study who benefited from tapping into their artistic side began doing so in middle age (and their creativity continues into the present).

It’s never too late to take up sculpture or painting, it’s just that the neural benefits seem to be more pronounced if people don’t wait until retirement to begin.

But for now, let’s get back to the emphasis on encouraging creativity as a brain-healthy behavior (and as early as possible in life).

We were all born with a great deal of creativity.
