Is this you?
This is extremely frustrating because it makes it hard to work, relax, or enjoy your time with others, as you always feel tired and drained. Luckily, there is a solution. Research shows that art can have a positive impact on your mood and act on your long-term well-being. Combined with mindfulness, it will enable you to achieve a new level of calm and concentration.
Whether you work in the creative industry, are a freelancer, or are part of a large organization, creative thinking and idea generation are probably important aspects of your job. But it’s so hard to be creative when you’re stressed. Art can help with this, too! It’s an unlimited source of inspiration that stimulates the brain to create new ideas.
Of course, sprinting through the 13.5 km (over 8 miles) of the Louvre’s galleries is tiring. But I’ll tell you a secret: you don’t have to see everything. In Art Wanderer Lab, I’ll show you how to look at art to truly appreciate and understand it.
More good news: you don’t need any art skills or expertise in art history to fully enjoy your mindful encounters with art. Nor is any prior experience of mindfulness or other forms of meditation necessary. Just let me guide you and see what happens.
Encountering art mindfully is beneficial to your health in many ways.
Here are some of the key benefits:
- Significant stress reduction and improved ability to achieve a state of relaxation
- Better emotional regulation
- Concentration improvement
- Increase in creativity & development of divergent thinking skills
- Fostering of children's mental development and stimulation of their imagination
- Alleviation of severe conditions in mental disorders and diseases
- Prevention of the development of Alzheimer's disease and dementia and alleviation of their symptoms
- Reduction of pain sensation in terminally ill patients
- Decrease in feelings of loneliness and social isolation
- Increase in the level of satisfaction with life
These are just some of the benefits listed in the report “What is the Evidence on the Role of the Arts in Improving Health and Well-being?” published in 2019 by the World Health Organization (WHO).
