Creativity PILLAR

Music can modulate moods and emotions. There could be two forms of music therapy including active and receptive. Active therapy is the one where one can sing songs on their own. According to Psychology Today, new research corroborates anecdotal evidence that singing your heart out in a group makes people happier by reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. 

Receptive therapy is one where one listens to songs to help with depression.

"Creativity in and of itself is important for remaining healthy, remaining connected to yourself and connected to the world," says Christianne Strang, a professor of neuroscience at the University of Alabama Birmingham and the former president of the American Art Therapy Association.

This idea extends to any type of visual creative expression: painting, making collages, sculpting clay, drawing, writing poetry, baking, scrapbooking, etc.
