I read that last night Annie. Very interesting research, and something I've often wondered about myself (I enjoy creative activities as some of you know, and find relaxation & a sense of pride in creating something nice). Oddly though, I used to write (short stories mainly), but fell out of the habit when my anxiety started which seems to go against the research in the article (although I do wonder if self-confidence was the reason why I stopped writing in reality, rather than anxiety, as I was also being bullied at the same sort of time as I stopped).
Actually I was thinking about you when I read it Elle-Kay and how talented you are. I wouldn't say I have any real creative talents although I have written some poetry. x
fascinating, thanks so much for the link, I will have a good read now
I write a lot of poetry and use a regular site where many of the poets there have mental health problems.
In addition,St Andrews Psychiatric Hospital in Northampton (not a million miles from me) has a list of notable patients on its website.They are musicians/composers,authors,poets and artists.Not a politician in sight!! Coincidence? I don't think so.
Also,people who are right-side dominant in the brain tend to be emotional but also creative,these aspects are controlled by that side.But left-side dominant people tend to be logical and better with science/mathematics.
I must be right-side dominant then as Math/Science are not my best subjects
Hmm.. I'm deffo right side dominant, emotional, empathetic, creative, sensitive etc. Unfortunately, my hubby is the exact opposite which means we don't understand each other at all! I wish I could say we compliment each other but sadly, we don't.
You can't beat anxiety by fighting it.. only by ignoring it
