Create & Chase The Blues Away

by: Tess Bueno

As a science and art enthusiast, I want to give you a glimpse of what happens inside the brain when we participate in creative activities. Check out the MRI scans...on the left, we have a brain that brings a new meaning to the phrase ‘feeling blue’. That’s the sad and gloomy brain. On the right is a brain engaging in art -- an image full of shining bright goodness. A brain healthy, happy, and creatively satisfied.

So when life gets you down, chase the blues away and engage your mind in doing what you love. Create a beautiful painting, grow a garden, build a fence or a desk, write a poem, sing, sew, sculpt, or just dance! Discover the joy in your passion -- in the gifts God gave you.
