If yes, then I feel you!!!! FYI, this is the time I do something creative. ๐จ It's amazing how magical and effective this can be! ๐คฉ
That's because engaging in creative activities:
- Lowers cortisol (stress hormone) in your system
- Increases Oxytocin and serotonin, the "feel-good" chemicals
- Lowers the heart rate
- Improves memory
- Helps you get into a flow state
- AND engaging in creativity can significantly boost your energy and enthusiasm!
Those are NOT the only benefits, but these are all great for what I call "Post-Summit Exhaustion". ๐๐ As a watercolor coach, I can't attest to this, plus I see the difference in my students. They are happier and more relaxed on the weeks that they paint, and so am I.
I'll bet you can figure out what I'm doing right nowโฆ ๐๐๏ธ I think I'll have some ice cream nowโฆ ๐จ๐
