Painting that Calms the Soul
By providing an enjoyable and satisfying distraction, creative pursuits can help to reduce stress levels and bring a variety of health benefits.
The arts clearly have the potential to make a major contribution to our health, well being and life skills. Projects from painting to designing silk scarves help people to have a more positive outlook, reduce isolation and anxiety and give increased confidence, sociability and self esteem.
