Looking around what we see in our homes, what can we get relief from stress with, the most?
If you want to skip directly to the chatGPT answer scroll down to 'Here was the answer:'
Only when our bathrooms and kitchens are super clean and well organized can we get a sense of relief, from the normal clutter. We can breathe of sigh of relief. But it takes a continual, almost daily effort to achieve that mark. Our toilets, showers and kitchen sinks and countertops are truly an effort of labor, and while we feel good about getting these chores done, it's never done for long. It's the daily grind.
However if we take another look, we begin to notice the finer things in our homes. And those finer things, are our collection of hanging art. It's really what's on our walls, that we find calm or the emergence of energy, that gives us that mental health boost we find in no other objects in our homes.
For example, this alternative Fine Art piece of Mt St Helens which has taken on the energy from the heat which lies below it, can alter our day just for the few moments we choose to stand in its awe, its splendor, its pulsing energy.
Then, as quickly or as long as we absorb the energy we can be lifted by it before moving onto our busy schedules. But we move with a sense of purpose after taking it in, and allowing the art to alter our mental health mood for that time, or that day. It literally plants a seed of improvement.
Or we can find solace when in the sadness of loss, any kind of loss, by merely viewing and focusing on how we will come out of this by accepting the beauty off nature as we can see from this next Fine Art piece, I call Crimson Clover Fields
The depth of this piece, is so strong, so vibrant, we can nearly breathe in the scent of the flowers. And if we allow, we can be moved to feel the light of a new day as our eyes travel through the field toward the rising sun. It's a settling of calm gained that we add to our day. In todays world, with too much to take care of it is our Fine Art wall hangings that relieve us.
Though if it is energy we are seeking, look no further than this piece, called 'Sky on Fire' which exudes a mesmerizing impact as we gaze into its full depth of sensory power, to propel oneself for a day of accomplishments. Here too we invest in the purchase and gain from countless exposures as it hangs on your wall in deference to the ravages of what can hold us back, depress us. I hope you agree, that this one is a game changer for our mental health.
There are many prints to choose from when it comes from the standpoint of impacting our mental status, I wanted to add one more which offers that daily thrill from the most common of plants, the dandelion; photography in a fun and flirty way, please see 'Pow' and make sure it is hung on your way out the door of your home or office.
If you find yourself doubting the value of the inner peace or energy we absorb from these pieces, and many more at my website, think about why Fine Art that is hung in medical offices and hospitals; they are there for the patients.
I invite you to find your mental health choices, and thank you for taking the time to read or comment here and for visiting my website and perhaps even purchasing the print or prints that inspire you.
And just for an objective answer, I did an AI (artificial intelligence) search on chat.openai.com, better known as chatGPT, asking the question, "Can Fine Art alter our mental health". Turns out it can indeed.......
Here was the answer and pass this article on to those you care about:
Yes, fine art has the potential to positively impact our mental health and well-being. Art has been used as a therapeutic tool for centuries, and there is a growing body of research that supports the benefits of art therapy and exposure to fine art on mental health.
One way that fine art can alter our mental health is through its ability to evoke emotions and feelings. Viewing or creating art can stimulate the release of endorphins, which are the body's natural mood-boosters. Art can also help us express and process difficult emotions, such as grief, anger, or anxiety, in a safe and constructive way.
Art has been shown to reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve overall mood. Studies have also suggested that exposure to fine art can improve cognitive function, memory, and attention, especially in older adults.
Moreover, art therapy, which is the use of art-making and the creative process to explore and express emotions, thoughts, and experiences, has been used as a treatment for a variety of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and eating disorders.
In summary, fine art has the potential to positively impact our mental health and well-being by stimulating emotions, promoting relaxation, improving cognitive function, and offering a creative outlet for self-expression and emotional processing.
