Without meaning to, we often fall victim to our routines, and justify mind-numbing after-hours activities that only waste time. Days, weeks, and even months can go by; perhaps you find yourself effectively living paycheck-to-paycheck, performing only for employers or a business, paying debts or bills, and killing the rest of the time.
Studies have proven many times over that it helps to stimulate the brain. It helps to use the mind in new ways, even if it’s not in a scientific slant. The brain is made up of many neurons and multiple different parts; it’s constantly creating new neural pathways and it’s capable of solving a variety of minute mysteries! Even simple arts and crafts or small-scale creations assist in keeping countless sections of your brain active.
Of course, different people prefer (or find themselves truly enjoying) different crafts. The important part is to incorporate projects into your daily life. They don’t even need to cost much — sometimes the most gratifying crafts or projects involve items that are already laying around! Maybe the only expenditure needs to be some paint or a few cheap tools.
This is just a friendly reminder to keep things interesting, create something weekly, and further develop your creative skills. By actively using your hands and brain to stretch even the simplest of your limits and solve dilemmas, you continue to train yourself to problem-solve in other areas of your life! Furthermore, just relaxing for a few hours and making magic that is useful or esthetically pleasing is a proven stress-relief!
Sometimes it takes trial and error to discover the perfect hobbies for you. However, even those experiments will have positive and long-term benefits for your mental health. đ
