Wyoming on Wellness Podcast: Art Your Way to Better Health with Josh Chrysler and Hilary Camino
Growing up, how often did you hear “sit still?”
The way certain music makes us feel; the release that comes from writing (or typing) out our thoughts; the joy of dancing to a favorite song.
These are only some of the ways art—which includes music and writing, but also expands into all creative pursuits… including cooking!—has a positive effect on us.
