Creative Expression
Whether you’re engaging in expressive writing, creative nonfiction writing, fiction writing, or visual arts, such as photography, painting, sculpture, drawing, ceramics, creative expression is good for health and wellbeing. Creative expression has been shown to increase self-worth and focus on positive experiences, reduce negative emotions, and reduce stress and compassion fatigue. Art and writing can help us to express what may be difficult to put into words.
Everybody is talented because everybody who is human has something to express.
Brenda Ueland
Making art and writing can be particularly helpful for grief related to loss of a loved one, loss of health, or illness. Engaging in creative expression can help us to make order from the chaos of loss and grief and shape our story into a greater sense of meaning and purpose.
Our job in this life is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we imagine we ought to be, but to find out who we already are and become it.
