Entrepreneurs and Stress Relief
Entrepreneurs often find themselves overwhelmed by all the little things they need to take care of to make their business successful. Not so the entrepreneurs who take advantage of Rivky’s Art Workshop™ business opportunity.
You see, entrepreneurs and artists who run an art business teaching children and adults how to paint make a remarkable discovery. The art process and creative stimulation has surprising effects on entrepreneurs’ problem solving skills and their ability to handle day to day business is an astonishingly smooth process.
Although artists already know this, entrepreneurs are amazed when they realize that art involves so much more than just creation.
Thoughts that art brings are mainly of the art work that is on the wall, being displayed in a museum or a highly celebrated institution. But, art is so much more than just works of art on display. Art has a quality only occasionally mentioned in the halls of Academe and rarely discussed in circles of art enthusiasts. Art produces work. It makes artists more productive while increasing their desire to be more productive. That’s a great benefit it offers. Art works.
As you work your way through life, you encounter problems at work and problems at home. You always have some situation that needs a solution. How do you get your kids everywhere they need to be when they need to be in different places all at the same time? How do you finish the project your boss just gave you at work? Whatever lifestyle you have, whether you can relate to these problems or not, you have problems of your own and you always need solutions.
Art is a great escape from these problems. But, there is something else going on when you look at a blank canvas and start making a work of art out of it. Your mind is making a shift from the analytical, logical side of your brain to the spatial, intuitive side. Your left brain is used to handling all the work and home issues that you have on a daily basis and it is always solving those problems the same way every time. When the creative side of your brain gets a chance to participate in problem solving, you look at the problems from a different angle and you come up with different solutions.
Staring at a blank canvas, you may not know that you are still trying to solve the problems you have going on in your life. But, your right brain is active while your left brain is taking a vacation. You are actually looking at problems without words. You aren’t naming factors and categorizing solutions. Your right brain doesn’t understand words. It communicates nonverbally, as in artistically. This leads to a whole new way of seeing old things.
Before you know it, a great solution has formed in your mind and now the left side of your brain is working to put it into words so that you can explain it, discuss it, present it, or just follow through with it. You have just increased your productivity one-hundred fold because you chose art as an escape. This is the great benefit of art that is hardly ever discussed among artists, but not because they don’t realize it themselves. As artists, they don’t think it needs put into words. How right-brained of them!
