36. Crafting Is Not Just For Kids!

We loved this chat so we pulled it out of the archive and brought it to you today! "We a made to create more than we consume." Did you know creating with your hands can be so therapeutic for anyone who is struggling with their mental health? It can be so beneficial for adults as well as kids! Learn from Rebecca on this topic as she teaches you about creating more with your hands! Tap back into our roots and learn a new skill or have a grandma teach you how to sew or knit or bake bread. This can look completely different for everyone, you can create in the kitchen, make bread, use craft supplies, make play dough with your kids, pottery, knitting, gardening or painting. Whatever feels right for you! You can actually lower your anxiety levels by tapping into your imagination and creative side. You don't have to "be creative" to create something... How can you add in more creative time in your home and something where you actually do the activity or craft with your kids! We love hearing from you, so feel free to connect with us on social media.
