Hey,
If there’s one major benefit of drawing, it’s this.
It Reduces Stress. 🧠
And it also:
• Boosts Creativity
• Increases your problem solving skills.
Ok, that’s three, but it’s true.
Drawing has been shown to do that, according to science.
I’ve been drawing for over 25 years and here’s why I think it does that (and the 3 steps you can take to gain these benefits)
Benefits of Drawing:
1. Stress Reduction 😌
Drawing is challenging. And doing something tough helps you build resilience.
And that’s how drawing primarily reduces stress.
By making you STRONGER. 💪
As you put yourself slightly out of comfort zone and do something that is seemingly easy but creatively fulfilling, your brain recognises that act of triumph and makes you more resilient.
It goes “wait, I thought I couldn’t do this. I guess I can! Guess I’m stronger that I thought” 🧠
The other way it does that is by bringing you to the present moment.
Getting you and your jumbled thoughts out of your head and putting it on paper, with the physical tools pencils and paper.
It makes you present and mindful, thus in a way making you realize that the problems you thought you were facing are not as big as it seems. 🧘
Plus, making something with pen and paper feels damn good.
2. Creativity Boost 🧠
• The very definition of creativity is ‘creating something new that is radically different from the usual options’.
If you learn to create your own original drawings and learn the techniques behind it, it teaches you what it means to be truly creative.
And once you see it, you will start applying those lessons to every other area of your life. 😮
• You will start to become creative at work, your relationships, your hobbies and the way you approach life itself.
But to do that you need a vehicle to practice that creative act in a contained manner. And that vehicle is Drawing. ✍️
3. Problem-Solving Skills 🔧
As you start to learn drawing, you will encounter many problems in the way that you would need to solve in order to become a better artist.
These are not ‘unsolvable problems’ but rather problems that have been solved before, and it needs to be solved by you now. 🤓
And your pursuit of defining these problems, finding solution to it, testing your ideas and then coming up with a final working solution which solves your problem will make you understand and practice the very skill of problem solving.
Which you will start applying in other areas of your life. 💪
Take me for an example:
I learned to run a business, manage a team, build a youtube channel to 600k+ subscribers, maintain a loving relationship, all with the skills I have learnt, for the first time from drawing.
It has made me a jack of all trades by teaching me to start with mastering ONE.
Ok, now you might think. 💬
“This sounds cool kesh, Where do I start?
How do I Start Drawing? I don’t know what to draw or how to draw it? What should I do?”
Well, here’s a very simple 3 STEP, No-Cost solution:
Step 1: Don’t be afraid to create bad art.
Step 2: Start drawing for 10 mins a day for 30 Days.
Step 3: Start drawing by copying existing stuff BADLY.
You will start to experience all these benefits.
