Science-Backed Benefits:

​

1. Neuroplasticity: Artistic activities have been shown to promote neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections.

2. Stress Reduction: Engaging in creative tasks, such as drawing or coloring, can trigger the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward, helping reduce stress levels.

3. Emotional Regulation: Reflective journaling can improve emotional regulation, aiding in the processing and managing of complex emotions.
