As you recognize World Health Day and take some time to reflect on how you’re prioritizing your well-being, consider why your self-care routine should include being creative. From self-discovery to stress relief, embracing your creative side can improve your mental health in a number of ways.

With spring just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to change up your usual routine and implement new, lasting habits that can benefit you, your home, and the environment.

Creative reuse centers, like ReCreative Denver, collect your used materials and help keep them out of landfills. When you donate, you redistribute to the community and you show your support for the organization. Proceeds from the resale of your goods goes to things like arts programming, workshops, and other community-driven projects.
