Can Creativity Be Your Anti-Depressant?
from Keep the Flow
A partially blind photographer who can't see what she's capturing just revealed the secret to why creativity might be the most powerful antidepressant you're not using.I've been feeling the seasonal dip lately... you know, those darker days that just weigh on you. Then I stumbled across a video from a photographer who's partially blind and can't totally see what she's photographing, and it completely shifted how I think about creativity and depression. In this episode, I'm sharing three ways your creative practice can act as a natural mood lifter, including what comedy writers understand that most of us miss, and a stupidly simple challenge that works even when your creative tank feels completely empty. If you're feeling the weight of the season right now, this one's for you.📬 If this resonated with you, you'll love my newsletter.
