Creativity, brain and art therapy

 

The world changes the vectors of its existence: what was usual becomes almost impossible; the clear and simple gives way to a constant state of uncertainty, a stable idea of ​​the future life gradually changes to different levels of variability, and the sense of control over reality gradually disappears. So why does this happen and how does it affect personality development in the first place?

Of course, this is the price one pays for the information revolution that has taken place in recent years; and the brain, as a complex system, also needs attention and remodulation into more effective forms of controlling reality, because it is the basis of the mental security of the individual, its prerequisite for evolutionary development and successful functioning in reality.

Everything in the world needs attention and balance – these two conditions for success in its broadest sense determine the general picture of the world of each of us.

So with limitless stress and constant contact with the unknown, you need to prepare your brain, if a person, as an operator of modern technologies, previously did not need additional efforts to be confident in himself and his capabilities, now it is necessary to constantly update himself almost always – and it is difficult.

But like everything else in the world, this is not a disaster, it is only a challenge to which we must find answers within ourselves.

Therefore, creativity and its continuous development are one of the strategic solutions to this issue.
Searching for creative solutions in solving small tasks and everyday tasks is a simulator for the future; investing effort and attention in non-standard problem solving is a vaccine against the inevitable uncertainty of life. So our brain is already well trained, so it automatically begins to understand that this is a familiar program and will not perceive it as an insurmountable threat.
The first conclusion: always look for creative solutions. Run away from the stereotypes that the brain successfully imprints in our minds every day.

And humanity throughout its experience has invented a unified mechanism for doing this. This is creativity, everything around us is someone’s creativity, someone’s new story, search and creative task. By creating something, actually, that does not matter, in some other way, we give birth to important ideas and thoughts, desires and abilities, possibilities and skills for the brain.

Friends, this is not taught in school! This is something we can achieve ourselves, or look for in others and the rest.

Non-standard drawings, photos, interior solutions, space organization solutions, own style of clothing, life and thoughts are the best creativity. Try to create yourself a little differently than you are now, and you will make an investment in the future.

Make creative works and artbooks, create your own dances to your favorite music, create music, play with colors, try to recreate a clay sculpture, develop the perfect design for your image, something on a piece of paper. Maybe it all looks like a joke or a fool, but it is not so, because it is a deep development of systemic and strategic thinking, because the solution of small creative tasks opens all the doors to overcoming the consequences of the crisis of the future. And she will definitely be!
And if you want to give your children a gift for the future, organize systematic work for them in the Art Therapy method. I assure you: it is imperceptible, but very pleasant and useful to work for the uncertain future of your child. Invest in the development of creativity, reinforcing any form of creativity, in whatever field it is broadcast, honor the bold ideas of your children, be proud of the non-standard, and this is how you will do the most.
Create your future together, art therapy can help us.
