Effective ways to improve brain function

Art therapy is a combination psychology and creativity. It is not accidental that it contains the word “therapy”, because creativity calms, distracts from the circle of boring thoughts, relaxes and at the same time gives the opportunity to concentrate and gather strength, opening hidden resources.

The technique of art therapy was first recalled by the artist Adrian Hill in 1938 when describing his work with tuberculosis patients in sanatoriums. These methods were used in the United States to work with children taken out of Nazi camps during World War II.

Winston Churchill said, “Painting is the perfect way of distraction.” I know of nothing else that more fully absorbs the mind without exhausting the body. Whatever momentary worries or worries for the future may be, once the picture has begun, they have no place in thought.” Therefore, always leave a place for creativity in your mode of the day to establish your psychological balance.
