E40: C is for Creativity, Crafts, and Connection. Hear You Go
-
- Language Learning
Will you be surprised to learn that creative activities that occupy our hands are crucial for positive mental health, and that these activities contribute to happiness and fulfillment?
The focus of today’s episode is on creativity, crafts, and connection. We’ll look at the Arts and Crafts movement and define arts and crafts – what are they? Then, we’ll explore this new Maker Movement and the physical and mental benefits of making things with our hands. I’ll conclude by sharing my personal history of being “creative”, and I’ll share some ideas about how you too can add creative activities to your weekly schedule.
It's important to do things with our hands, don't you agree?
