Essential Activity
Designate one day of the week and / or one time of day, for a creativity practice. Treat this practice as you would enter into the commitment of any exercise program. Creativity is exercise for your brain. Each time you explore different materials and different creative ideas, you learn something new. Neuroscience teaches us that learning something new each day, builds new neural pathways, helping us to expand on many levels, while maintaining a healthy brain.
