Helping Ease One's Mind Through a Hobby

Making crafts lets one explore their inner self. Creating jewelry, weaving Navajo rugs, or collecting items such as comic books or coins, the feeling of relaxation/calmness only helps with mental health. One can feel the atmosphere shift into one of peace and joy, simply by shutting off your brain. Let your eyes, mind and hands take over. You become wrapped up in your warm fuzzy place. Now, submersed in color, textures and different smells, the world becomes vibrant and tranquil.

Creating jewelry lets your imagination go wild regarding what kind of designs, whether it be rings, necklaces, or body jewelry, which can be made from gems, stones, metals, beads, cloth, feathers or whatever. It is an open decision of what you want to create. Do you want something gaudy, conservative, fun, simple, intricate, or custom made?

Navajo rug weaving allows you to feel the texture of the wool you use, the array of the colors and the patten you want to bring to life. The tools you use become an extension of your hands and fingers. Your worries and confused state of mind is shut down and your inner vibrations take over. This is the balance of peace you need in your life. When you sit back and rest for a minute, it is at that time you realize everything your hands are doing is perfect.

Collecting comic books or coins is a thing of beauty also. Checking the age, collectability, color, unintentional mistakes made by the creator, mint or variant can be worth more than the mere cost of the same item with no fallibilities. Collecting is akin to excavating lost treasures in ancient Egypt, you might just find a treasure worth millions of dollars. Enjoy your hobbies, relax your brain, and let yourself sink into the abyss of peace and harmony.
