How Painting Improves Your Daily Life

In Paint by Numbers, the canvas is labeled with numbers and the corresponding paints to be used in the regions are numbered. Each region is painted and eventually, the painting is completed with the help of Painting by Numbers. Initially, when you’ll start to paint, the painting might not make any sense at all but once you complete it, it will come out as it was intended. This technique has been bashed and ridiculed by professionals as they believed it is ‘childish’, ‘uncreative’.

However, this opinion has been negated by millions of adults who paint by numbers after a long, stressful day at their work. By creating art, one can improve their physical, mental and emotional health. It motivates you to think outside the box and come up with new ideas to find solutions to any problems you’re facing. For some, it is considered as a therapy. In medical terms, art helps stimulate new neurons and increase dopamine that makes you feel happy.

Another Stressful Day at Work?

Normally, when someone says painting helps with stress, it is hard to believe. It was for me too but once you dive in, you realize they were right all along. With painting, you can express your emotions. Once you express yourself and let it all out on the canvas and, you’ll feel relaxed and stress-free. The same is the case with paint by numbers, once you fill in the areas with designated paint, you’ll feel accomplished, hence, stress-free.

It is verified by many psychotherapists as a means to improve combination problems, conflicts, and many other psychological aspects.
