Wellness, creativity, and arts and culture are interconnected in several ways.
As we navigate our daily lives, we often find ourselves balancing work, family, and personal responsibilities. It can be easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of it all and neglect our well-being. However, prioritizing wellness is essential to our overall success and happiness, particularly for creators and small business owners who rely on their creativity and motivation to succeed.
Here are some examples:
1.) Art therapy: Art therapy uses the creative process of making art to improve a person’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being. It can be used to help people cope with a range of issues, from anxiety and depression to chronic pain and addiction.
