The 5 benefits of an artistic activity on your health
According to a study carried out by New Zealand researchers, to practice a regular artistic activity would be good for the health, mental as well as physical! How and to what extent can the practice of an art have these positive effects ?
1) The practice of an art improves your mood
To carry out this New Zealand study, 658 adults were invited to indulge their creative desires every day for 13 days. Every day, study participants seemed to feel a real sense of well-being the next day. The researchers concluded from the study's findings that the practice of art, no matter its forms, can have a very positive impact on the content of a work day and the quality of a person's relationships.
2) It helps you to let go
Art is one of the most effective natural remedies for emptying your head, especially if intellectual tasks occupy you most of the time. When you attend your dance, singing or theater class, all your attention is focused on the present moment, and forgetting anything that may be negative in your mind, at least for a session!
In addition, moving will awaken your senses and bring you energy.
3) The art to improve your self-confidence
Art in general, be it painting, drawing, singing, theater improvisation, etc., is an excellent way to overcome barriers that were thought to be impassable and thus to regain confidence in its abilities. . Some UHCs in France propose to call on art therapists to work on self-esteem. At Grenoble University Hospital, for example, art-therapy sessions based on drawing have been offered to children with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorders. Results: 72% of children said they felt pride, 78% regained confidence in their abilities, 68% wanted to continue the care and 50% improved their social relations after 7 sessions of art therapy.
4) Train your brain with art
According to other scientific studies, art, in all its forms, would improve brain plasticity. Whenever we start an artistic activity, new neural networks would be put in place in our brain, according to the conclusions of an observation that took place at the Pitié-Salpêtrière in Paris, with patients victims of Recent strokes.
5) Art : a daily pleasure
All the artistic activities bring pleasure to the one who practices them, because the practice of these activities stimulates the endorphins. It does not matter which artistic activities are chosen, since they are all indicated to trigger positive emotions.

To use a wonderful part of a book, by one of my favourite writers Seth Godin. Art is not so bound to the idea of high art but to the gesture of giving, we should do more art, not just draw or paint, but to just understand that there is no big difference between doing a job and doing a job in a way that makes life better for someone, even if only a little bit:
“Art isn't only a painting. Art is anything that's creative, passionate, and personal. And great art resonates with the viewer, not only with the creator.
What makes someone an artist? I don't think is has anything to do with a paintbrush. There are painters who follow the numbers, or paint billboards, or work in a small village in China, painting reproductions. These folks, while swell people, aren't artists. On the other hand, Charlie Chaplin was an artist, beyond a doubt. So is Jonathan Ive, who designed the iPod. You can be an artists who works with oil paints or marble, sure. But there are artists who work with numbers, business models, and customer conversations. Art is about intent and communication, not substances.
An artists is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. And an artists takes it personally.
That's why Bob Dylan is an artist, but an anonymous corporate hack who dreams up Pop 40 hits on the other side of the glass is merely a marketer. That's why Tony Hsieh, founder of Zappos, is an artists, while a boiler room of telemarketers is simply a scam.
Tom Peters, corporate gadfly and writer, is an artists, even though his readers are businesspeople. He's an artists because he takes a stand, he takes the work personally, and he doesn't care if someone disagrees. His art is part of him, and he feels compelled to share it with you because it's important, not because he expects you to pay him for it.
Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium doesn't matter. The intent does.
Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another.”
― Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
I do not take credit for this, but it is wonderfully written and meant to be shared.
Good Article @redouanemez!
