5 Compelling Reasons that Art is a Need, Not a Luxury

5 Compelling Reasons that Art is a Need, Not a Luxury

Yes, it's true, especially in this day and age.  Art isn't a luxury; it is definitely a need. And I'm going to give you 5 top reason why I believe this.

Art is so much more than an item to tie your decor together.  It offers tremendous benefits that are a need, not a luxury.

No. 1 - Smile More & Feel Content

Experiencing art floods your brain with feel-good chemicals. So you smile more, and feel content and at peace. It engages the brains pleasure and reward systems.  An easy way to turn a bad day into a great day.  Or a bad mood into a good mood.

 

 

No. 2 - Get lost in your happy place

Art can completely command all of your attention.  So when the world gets to be too much, you can get lost in your art. Because art engages your senses AND your emotions, it grabs your attention and draws you in.  When you get lost in art, you can spend as long as you like in your happy place.

 

No. 3 - Feel seen and heard

When you’re feeling off balance, like people don’t really get you, your art can make you feel seen and heard.  Like it understands you.  Because it speaks directly to you. It means whatever you need it to mean.  The emotions it stirs up are all sincere.  When you experience art, it isn't interrupting you, ignoring your needs, or directing you to someone else.  It's simply there for you, to enjoy the emotions and sensations that you singularly need.

 

No. 4 - Load your space with positive energy

We all live with a lot of responsibility, stress and problems.  Your art can inject gobs of positive energy into your space and into your life. Again, the feel-good chemicals flood the brain.  But further more, art has a tendency to envelop you in your senses.  That experience gives you distance from the stressful emotions you were experiencing before.  So the more times you immerse yourself in art, the less time you'll spend experience stress.  And the effect can last beyond simply the time you spend with the art.  

 

No. 5 - Heal the body and mind

Experience art heals the body and mind.  True Story. The way it affects the brain builds emotional resilience that helps you deal with big emotions. Getting distance from the crushing emotions of stress and anxiety is a powerful relief. Experiencing art helps lay a foundation of emotional solace that leads to resilience.  So the next time you have a stressful day or stressful experience, you'll be able to recover more quickly.

 

 


We need art to counterbalance life.  Get more art in your life.
