Have you ever found yourself dealing with a unique problem, but unable to think of any unique solutions? One of the best ways forward is to engage your mind in something different and let your unconscious mind continue to work on the problem while you enjoy other things.
A great method for this is through art. Art engages the brain like no other and boosts those areas which deal with creativity and problem solving, even if there’s really no problem to solve! As you work on your latest painting, or take a piece of charcoal across the paper, ideas can begin to form that you may not have thought of under any other circumstance. Since you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big and give those thoughts expression at the same time. It sure beats staring off into space and hoping an idea comes, doesn’t it?
Too many people think art is just for children and that when we become adults, we must put away are dreams of being an artist. Nothing could be further from the truth! Art fosters creativity and aids in problem solving along with providing a great opportunity to relieve stress.
