Can The Love of Arts & Crafts Improve Our Health and Wellbeing?
FCGCT Commentary: The mind, the ego is the cause for health problems. We are moving from the mind, to the Heart… not the balancing of the two. The mind conflicts with the Heart, and is the cause for imbalance, pain, fear, suffering and more. The mind… the ego, blocks the Heart, as it Edges God Out. Let go of the mind, and solely flow from the Heart, connected to the Unified Heart in Unity Consciousness.
Can The Love of Arts & Crafts Improve Our Health and Wellbeing?
By Jane Sandwood
America’s health is calling out for healing. NAMI data confirms that 1 in 5 adults experience mental health issues in a given year, and over a third of Americans are classified as obese or overweight according to the CDC. While plenty of advice on diets or exercise exists, there may be other, more spiritually connected, ways to improve your health and wellbeing. As people look for natural ways to de-stress and boost their mental health, a passion for art could be a really effective part of your journey.
How hobbies help our health
As people juggle work, family and home commitments, making time for a hobby can seem like a luxury. However, studies have shown the physical and mental health benefits of time spent doing something you enjoy. Hours spent in leisure pursuits have been shown to correlate with lower blood pressure and reduced levels of depression and stress. Physical hobbies such as gardening, dancing or walking the dog have also been shown to improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of dementia. If your hobby takes you outdoors, so much the better; time spent in green spaces and sunlight have been proven to boost mental health as well as topping up your vitamin D levels.
Why a love of art is particularly uplifting
For those who enjoy creating or appreciating the beauty of what others have created, art is a powerful tonic. The psychologist Csikszentmihalyi coined the term “state of flow” to describe a period of intense concentration when a person is completely absorbed in the task at hand, making time and day to day concerns disappear. For some people, meditation or mindfulness are much loved tools to access this state. For others, art holds the key. Being immersed in creating something can refresh and reinvigorate you, giving you a feeling of immense achievement and boosting your mental health. Whether you’re broadening your sketching skills or listening to a moving piece of music, art has the power to captivate.
The joy of creative hobbies
Not only can time spent immersed in an artistic hobby help you reach a state of flow, it can also literally change the way your brain works. Scientists have found that activities which occupy your fingers, such as painting, sewing or knitting, can alter your brain’s chemistry to make you feel more positive. Hobbies such as these are also a perfect opportunity to connect with others and form friendships with like minded souls. At a time when so many people report feelings of isolation (a recent study by health insurer Cigna found that nearly half of Americans feel lonely), this is an incredibly important way to feel connected. Whether your passion is for singing, sketching or salsa, find a local group and enjoy establishing those bonds.
From those seeking to improve existing health conditions to those who simply wish to adopt healthy habits from now, art is a powerful tool. Being immersed in creating helps you to achieve a state of flow, tuning out day to day distractions and encouraging a more positive mindset. By keeping your fingers occupied in an artistic pursuit, you can affect your own neurochemistry to boost your positivity and feel happier. Perhaps most importantly, art opens the door to new friendships and connections which humans aspire to. Put simply, loving art may be one of the best ways to love yourself.
