Creativity is good for your health! From Psychologies Magazine; A couple of recent studies are finding good reason to embrace arts and crafts. Zorana Ivcevic and John D Mayer, at the University of New Hampshire’s department of psychology, found everyday creativity is correlated with personality traits such as sociability, openness to experience, conscientiousness and personal growth. They also found that crafting is often used to foster closer ties between people, through giving gifts or entertaining, for example. Another study, of scientists, including Nobel Prize winners, found that the most successful academics were those who also devoted time to creative pursuits, the theory being that such activities increase mental agility and creative problem-solving.
