The prepared warrior

Abstract

Abstract In this chapter, the author provides an overview of how the art and science of creative well-being can be integrated into everyday life. The author discusses how we can manage our well-being and tackle the future, including the uncertainties, adversities, and challenges that are bound to come our way as part of life. Self-expression and creativity is in our hands, both literally and metaphorically. As we emerge from the pandemic and its impacts, being reflective and responsive to stress and adversity will be essential. Akin to any other skill, creative well-being practices can also be learned. The author also discusses personalized practices, including reflective and contemplative approaches and the role of creative expression in biopsychosocial/sexual/spiritual well-being.
