At this point, 15 people have completed the DragonHeart Quest…and a few more who have yet to be counted after the Dragon Pod last weekend…
And only 12 days left to get that number up to 10,000.
Clearly it’s time to pull out all the stops. What’s a dragon girl to do?
Why, it’s listicle time!
(Listicles are like icicles and Popsicles, only not as cold.)
10 Unscientific (But Still Brilliant) Reasons to Take the DragonHeart Quest Today
#1 – Creating feels amazing. It’s better than snorting hollyhocks! (Unverified, but promising.)
#2 – It teaches you to become fearless. You’ll see exactly where you hesitate, and create anyway.
#3 – Your creation will be immortalized in the DragonHeart Wall of Fame.
#4 – You’ll feel like a kid again. The good kind of nostalgia, not the “I forgot my homework!” kind.
#5 – You can write it off on your taxes. Just kidding. But it has a huge emotional ROI.
#6 – You’ll surprise yourself.
#7 – Something will exist that didn’t before, just because of you.
#8 – You’ll surprise someone else, too.
#9 – You’ll feel more connected to yourself, your fellow humans and possibly dragons.
#10 – Every time someone completes the Quest, a dragon angel gets its wings. This is obviously true and not up for debate.
And now for those who require “evidence” before allowing themselves to enjoy a new experience…
4 Science-Backed Reasons
#1 – Brief creative acts produce a drop in cortisol (a stress-marker) and have been known to reduce anxiety.
(aka you feel better right away: source)
#2 – Doing more creative activity than usual predicts higher next-day positive affect.
(aka you’ll feel better tomorrow, too: source)
#3 – A large meta-analysis of controlled studies found moderate reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms from group arts interventions, including reduced loneliness and increased interest in life.
(aka creating with others makes you feel happier and more connected: source)
#4 – Positive interactions with strangers reliably lift mood, even when they mid-predict the interaction as unpleasant.
(aka you’ll actually enjoy sharing your creation, even if it scares you now: source)
Now you have 14 reasons to choose from. BWAHAHAHHHHHHHHH! *evil laugh*
Or you could ignore all of them and just notice this:
You’ve probably been thinking about creating something. And not doing it.
