The best way to transform your Life is to consciously become the Architect of this day. Begin by becoming the observer of this fleeting moment of time. Look right outside your window. Grab the iphone and catch the incredible clouds picking up the sun right this minute. Capture the flower as a bud, full bloom, and then decaying right before your eyes. See the colors on the grass, leaves, and bushes as they catch the sky throughout the day.
Claude Monet painted the same haystacks day after day. The dawn of yellows and cream contrasted deeply with the twilight purples and blues. Each creation is a magnificent image you could gaze at forever. They carry the energy of the moment, allow you to breath deeper, and settle your body into a calm peaceful place.
Science has proven again and again, that Art changes the brain. Makers become more observant of details, more aware of others, and feel more connected to the world. Putting your whole body into creating art changes everything. Get out of the head, and without judgement, create what your heart and head are feeling in the moment. This process creates magic.
The Best way to transform your life is to be filled with well-being, empathy, and compassion by making art. Artists are the keepers of the vision and journalists of the imagination, as they record the mystery.
Exposure to visual art and participation in creative activities create positive brain changes.art4healing.org
The brain is deeply activated doing art since it stops thinking and connects on a feeling level with the heart and gut, our intuition and instincts. Calming hormones flow up through the body, reducing stress and pain. Scientific studies prove what we feel is true. Making Art Transforms by relaxing the body as artists document their feelings. Getting emotions out moves energy and allows each of us to make new, happy, memorable connections. That’s transformation.
Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Overcome whatever obstacles stop you from making art. There are affordable ways to create with what you have. Art is personal. You can keep it to yourself or share with a trusted group of artists on the same path. Never judge your creations and instead, focus on the process. This is play at its finest. Be the maker if being the ‘artist’ seems too demanding. Do this first and foremost for yourself. Let go of all opinions, both good and bad, since they can sway you off the path. But most of all, follow what fascinates and intrigues you. Be curious of your ideas.
“Unused creativity is not benign.” –Brene Brown.
Pretty powerful quote! Doing art impacts every area of life. Once you feel what it’s like to create from your heart in art, that energy carries over into all you do. You see the world with artists eyes. Calm fills you as you step back from the outer world. People are viewed with compassion and acceptance since they all have their own path to follow. You focus on discovering yourself, your passion, and your beauty. Art is essential to life.
