Creativity
Stress is the antithesis of artistic creativity, which often requires a sense of freedom for the mind to explore and play. Meditation can cultivate a more serene mental outlook and free the mind for higher creative thinking - allowing us to make fresh connections and reach new realisations.
- The problem
Not everyone thinks of themselves as a creative person. But, even if we’ve never written a poem or painted a picture in our lives, all of us need to be creative in finding different ways of doing things as both we and the world around us evolve.
Some of us find it easier to be creative than others, but trying to maintain consistent creative flow is incredibly challenging for anybody.

“...what imagination is, is taking those things you have in your memory and putting them together in a new way. So just in the way that the hippocampus allows us to think about the past and memory, it also allows us to imagine the future. Long-term stress is literally killing the cells in your hippocampus that contribute to the deterioration of your memory. But it’s also zapping your creativity.”
