• Engaging in creativity increases brain function
• It decreases pain as pain starts in the brain
• Problem solving in a safe environment that isn't stressful.
• Creative projects help us mentally. It takes up mental space from things that are stressful going through our minds. When we're stressed over something we think about it a lot because our brain is searching for answers and figure out how to make sense of it or what to do with it. Mental space is taken by worrying and ruminating. Using mental space for problem solving and creativity takes away that space from worrying and ruminating.
• Emotionally. When we do something creative, we see the product of our labours. When we see that we have been productive and accomplished something, we're proud of it and we know how much hard work we have put into it.
