EAP: Wellness Wednesday

[Kim McCoy Coleman]

Greeting friends and colleagues,

This week for Wellness Wednesday I'd like you to take a moment to think
about the role the arts play in promoting your wellbeing. When was the last
time you created something or discovered a new artist or were moved by an
image, piece of literature, or a poem?

The arts - in any form - can really lift our spirits, calm our nerves, and
encourage divergent thinking about all sorts of problems. They can
communicate or validate our feelings and help us to imagine how things can
be different.

Why not take a minute to explore something new, find a cool arts resource,
sign up for a class, or simply listen to music more often.

Check out these resources and try to spend some time finding (and enjoying)
your flow.

Be well (and be creative),
