Depression. Stress Relief. Emotional Relief.
These are just some of the things crafting can help you with. And studies prove that it is not a myth anymore. Science is backing it up too.
From the Mother Nature Network:
One thought is that when we’re being creative, our brains release dopamine, a natural antidepressant. Creativity that takes concentration is a non-medicinal way of getting a feel-good high. Scientists are even beginning to study the link between engaging in creative activities and the ability to reduce the mild cognitive impairment associated with aging.
The next time you are looking for a non medicinal high, pick up a pair of knitting needles or crank up the old sewing machine!
