Creativity isn't just for artists --- it can be an amazing tool to help calm your nervous system and expand your resilience. When life feels overwhelming, unlocking your creative side might be the unexpected solution you need.
On this episode of Building Resilience, I’m teaching about the power of creativity for nervous system health. I'll explain how creative activities can signal safety to your brain, reduce stress by lowering cortisol levels, and reconnect you with joy and playfulness. Plus, I share practical strategies for incorporating creativity into your daily life --- even if you don't consider yourself a creative person. From five-minute creativity breaks to mindful practices, I’ll give you some simple ways to nurture your nervous system through creativity.
