I have a number of crafty coworkers and we recently decided to get together once a month to craft. I plan to do a paint by number kit just for fun, but such activities are also remarkably good for our health said Daisy Fancourt, a professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at university college London. She has spent 15 years studying the profound effect of the arts on people's well being.
This concept encompasses crafting, performing arts, visual arts, and literary arts, along with culinary endeavors like baking bread. Research suggests that experiencing creativity, even for a few minutes a day, has tangible effects on our mental and physical health. Doing so helps slow cognitive decline, reduces the risk of heart disease, and increases well being as we age. Dr Fancourt emphatically call engaging in the arts the forgotten fifth pillar of health, alongside diet, sleep, exercise and nature.
Crucially, you do not have to be good at any of these things to reap the health of benefits. All you have to do is take part. Dr Fancourt advises looking for inexpensive events in your community as creative pastimes do not have to be costly. You can see if nearby museums offer free hours, utilize library passes, or support local artists by attending plays put on by local high schools and community theaters.
Furthermore, you can effortlessly slip some arts into your social life if you tend to meet friends for drinks or dinners, try swapping that routine for something arts based, Dr Fancourt suggests collaborative activities like mindful coloring or starting an inform book club which provides an easy ritual and extra motivation to read.
Setting a creative challenge for yourself is another effective strategy. This could involve establishing a fun rule for the year, such as making your own greeting cards instead of buying them or reading a daily poem. If you commute via public transportation, you could mandate reading a few pages of a novel before allowing yourself to doom scroll.
Finally, you can easily bring your art home to maximize these health benefits without ever visiting a concert hall. You might stream live recordings, page through library art books or try finessing a new recipe in your kitchen. Ultimately, however your creative pursuit turns out, the essential reminder is that it doesn't need to be good, just that you showed up and did it.
