Long weekend ahead and no plans? Why not take this weekend for yourself to indulge in some much-needed craft therapy? Let the long weekend offer you a chance to practice mindfulness through making.
The benefits of crafting go far beyond just making something beautiful. The rhythmic movement of crafting creates a meditative-like state which some crafters refer to as “the zone”. Focusing on the specific steps of a creative project helps you to practice mindfulness and staying in the moment. You can read more in our previous blog post about Crafting as Self-Care.
