Giving your analytic mind a break and allowing the other side of your brain a chance to express itself through a craft opens new ways of thinking about everything when you least expect it. Creating something using your senses shuts down the “should” mind and opens the “could” mind. Imagine the possibilities you could discover when you step away from a situation completely and take a new course of action. A fun one.
Discovering new things not only make us feel good, it allows us to grow and stretch from where we are today. Now that we are able to once again meet in person, take the chance to start that conversation with someone who is not in your circle of friends or colleagues already. Having that exchange, whatever the outcome, you both win. Denying yourself the opportunity to learn and grow from interactions with people different from ourselves, keeps you from experiencing a “yay” and what could follow it.
