Can Creativity Help You Live Longer?

In this episode of the Creative Juice Box podcast, we discuss how creative people tend to live longer (and more fulfilling) lives, which can motivate you to stay creative throughout the aging process. Today's episode is dedicated to my Granny, who passed away 6 months ago today. 🧡

 

We'll talk about:

✨ My Granny's creative hobbies that kept her feeling young throughout her life (including a theatre group for seniors!)

✨ How Granny's creative approach to life inspired the people around her to do the same

✨ How we often overlook our brain health (especially as young people!) but it's actually one of the most important things to take care of throughout your life

✨ The importance of living life creatively and keeping your brain active as you age to prevent cognitive decline

✨ The science behind creativity and a longer lifespan, including how creativity increases the white matter in your brain
