Why Creative Hobbies Are Good For You

Wandering through the internet is a bit of a sometimes hobby of mine, probably used as a form of procrastination … Oh well, I’m sure I’m not the only one of us guilty of that one!

But the good thing about wandering through the internet, is that if you have at least a little idea of what you wish to read about, you can find little gems of interest.

I have found such a gem here and am glad to have some scientific evidence for my own thoughts/ideas … That small article discusses the usefulness of doing creative activities to enhance a person’s well-being.

The article goes on to explain that while doing creative activities certainly helps a person to feel well about things, the effect is not ongoing, ie, doesn’t last into the next day and beyond.

Even though this may be interpreted as a bit of a downer, in my opinion, it is in fact a positive thing, in that it means a person has a fine reason to do something creative every single day, Hooray to that!

So as I have been looking at Creative Hobbies that I do, I am glad to know that pursuing these past times is probably aiding my feeling of well-ness. It already felt like these things were doing that, but I believe in the truth of scientific proof!
