The Benefits of Crafting
Did you know crafting has a limitless amount of benefits?
Researchers have long said crafting eases stress and brings joy to our life. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi says that you can lose yourself in crafting. He describes this phenomenon as flow: a few moments in time with you are so completely absorbed by an activity that nothing else seems to matter*. At a TED talk in 2004, Csikszentmihalyi said, “When we are involved in creativity, we feel that we are living more fully than during the rest of life.”
Scientists believe "crafting is a natural anti-depressant"
Crafting with Friends
The benefits of crafting with a group of people, whether that be your friends, family, or children, are massive. You will naturally socialize, you will be able to share your ideas and thoughts, and most importantly, you do not have to try a new craft alone. By sharing ideas, you will bring your craft to a new height and polish your skills. Also, the everlasting friendship you build is irreplaceable. With these friends, you can encourage each other on your skills and finishing your projects.
