How creative self-expression affects physical and emotional health.

"Human brains are not computers processing data. They are biological prediction machines that perceive the environment through memories and the senses, with the capacity to use that information to imagine plausible future scenarios.

"These inherent predictive and imaginative capacities are the wellspring of humanity’s abilities to survive and thrive—because self-expression is a safety valve that helps us cope with uncertainty. No one truly knows the future; they must live each day not sure of what will happen tomorrow. Art can help us all practice this imaginative muscle in a useful way." - Girija Kaimal
