Why you should start painting today

Last week we started our series on highlighting various hobbies that are beneficial for personal development as well as utilize functions of the brain. Today we are focusing on painting and the arts. While you might hear your parents and friends say, “there is no career in being an artist” it is quite the opposite when it comes to art as an hobby. Painting, drawing, sculpting, etc. are extremely useful and essential hobbies for humans to explore their creative side.

It is important for us to use the creative parts of our brain and put our artistic talents to use. Moreover painting is a great activity to do with friends, which is why it’s the perfect hobby to do on Motiv. We can help you catalogue your past paintings.

Below are 6 of the main reasons painting can help your health:

1. Fosters creative growth

2. Strengths memory

3. Builds problem-solving and motor skills

4. Stress Relief

5. Promotes an optimistic attitude

6. Nurtures emotional growth

We at Motiv suggest you pick up a brush or pencil and start painting or drawing today. In 2/3 weeks it’ll be part of your weekly routine and you’ll thank us.
