Every once in a while it is so great to know that what I feel is not bat shit crazy! "a study focusing on participants in a hands-on art workshop found that making art greatly improved their 'psychological resilience' — which helped them resist the effects of stress and actually made them feel happier — while increasing 'functional connectivity' between many areas of the brain. While fully engaged in the act of creation, the participants were able to reach a powerful mental and bodily state the study refers to as 'flow,' which engaged both cognitive and motor skills. Plus, another 2014 study revealed that the act of drawing actually helps develop gray matter density in the brain."
