The connection between the arts and happiness is not only intuitive, but also supported by science!
Research shows that engaging in artistic and creative activities can result in:
- Lower levels of stress and anxiety
- Fewer symptoms of depression
- Increased resilience
- Improved physical health, and more
The arts give us a platform to process, understand, and express our emotions. They also improve our overall wellbeing by helping us get into a state of “flow”, which positive psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi defined as the mental state of being fully immersed and focused in an activity that is intrinsically rewarding.
As Dr. James Pawelski stated, in addition to academic and economic value, there is a value in the arts for our wellbeing.
