How to Cope with Holiday Stress
Stay Connected to Our Creative Source
As we enter the holiday season we can easily get caught up in the frenzy and stress of parties, event planning, relatives, gift buying, people pleasing. over indulgence of sugary foods and alcohol. Also, just dealing with the increasingly cold weather can be stressful, unless you are lucky to live in a temperate zone!

How can we fortify ourselves?
We need to remember to stay connected to our creative source. We need to remember that Art is a natural force that promotes heath and well-being for the creator as well as the viewer.
We must slow down our hectic pace and make time for creative pursuits to restore and recharge our energy.
We need to exercise our highest good in decision making, discipline and will power -- to avoid toxic relationships and foods and make healthy substitutions.
We know that our mind is very powerful. So, let's trust that higher consciousness.
Let's share the belief that Art has transformative powers to change a person’s outlook and the way they experience the world. It has been proven that Art can affect a person’s physiology impacting brain wave patterns and the nervous system and the cells in the body and it has the power to promote healing and thus alter a person’s immune system.
So, let's celebrate Art and Creativity with love, generosity, verve and gusto!
Let's be Inspired!
"Variety of form and brilliancy of color in the object presented to patients are an actual means of recovery." ~ Florence Nightingale
“The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.” ~ Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus
"In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love."
~ Marc Chagall
“The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.”
~ Marianne Williamson
"If I create from the heart, nearly everything works: if from the head, almost nothing." ~ Marc Chagall
"Art is not a thing but a Moving Spirit." ~ George Innes
"A work of art is finished, from the point of view of the artist, when feeling and perception have resulted in a spiritual synthesis." ~ Hans Hofmann
"I look out the window sometimes to seek the color of the shadows and the different greens in the trees, but when I get ready to paint I just close my eyes and imagine a scene."
~ Grandma Moses
"In art the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Art does not reproduce what we see. It makes us see." ~ Paul Klee
"We live in succession, in division, in parts, in particles. Meantime within man is the soul of the whole; the wise silence; the universal beauty, to which every part and particle is equally related, the eternal ONE. And this deep power in which we exist and whose beatitude is all accessible to us, is not only self-sufficing and perfect in every hour, but the act of seeing and the thing seen, the seer and the spectacle, the subject and the object, are one. We see the world piece by piece, as the sun, the moon, the animal, the tree; but the whole, of which these are shining parts, is the soul." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
