In a busy and STEM-oriented society like Singapore, it can be difficult to find time to do creative things… ![]()
So take this week’s challenge as an excuse to unleash your creativity! ![]()
Did you know being creative or engaging in creative activities can boost your mental health? It can:
-
Increase positive emotions
-
Lessen depressive symptoms
-
Reduce stress
-
Decrease anxiety
-
Improve immune system functioning
We reach this state thanks to getting into a state of “flow” which slows our brainwaves and also release satisfaction-inducing chemicals. FInd out more here: https://mindline.sg/youth/article?type=resource&group=School%20%26%20Work&sub-group=Fulfilling%20Student%20Life&resource-id=417
So try to be creative this week in your own ways:
- If you’re someone who draws, try a different medium!
- If you play instruments, try a new song!
- If you like cooking, try a new recipe!
The possibilities are endless, and remember, you define your own “creativity”, it can even be finding a new route back home. Goodluck! ![]()
