Ask any crafter why they devote time to their love, and we're sure they'll tell you it's because of the way crafts make them feel, among other reasons. They just may be on to something ;) There have been countless studies on the stress-relieving benefits of crafting.
According to Robert Reiner, Ph.D., a New York University psychologist and the study's author, the findings prove what crafters already know: Crafts de-stress. "The act of performing a craft is incompatible with worry, anger, obsession, and anxiety," he says. "Crafts make you concentrate and focus on the here and now and distract you from everyday pressures and problems. They're stress-busters in the same way that meditation, deep breathing, visual imagery, and watching fish are."
