Today, we're going to talk about the benefits of creating and how it can help us achieve a greater sense of well-being. Whether it's painting, writing, or playing music, engaging in creative activities can have a profound impact on our mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Studies have shown that creating can reduce stress, boost self-esteem, increase happiness, and enhance mindfulness. Tune in while we review some current studies with Heather L. Stuckey and Jeremy Noble as we explore these topics and more, we’ll delve into the many ways that creating can help us on our journey towards Nirvana. So, let's get started together and discover the transformative power of creativity!

And also to chillhop radio on YouTube in the background as I speak, (that was put on to keep my dog calm and quiet since she was in an excited and “talkative” mood.) That is a favorite amongst us all here at home! Even my little girls enjoy the ambience and the little screensaver videos that come along with them!
