How Embroidery Can Improve Your Wellbeing

  • By Sandeep

Published: 10th July, 2024

In our fast-paced, tech-driven world, finding ways to unwind can almost feel like a fight for a survival. Our phones are designed to keep us hooked on the dopamine hits it give us, but these hits of so- called happiness don't last. How often have you given in to sheer exhaustion before putting your phone down? Now ask yourself; do you remember what you have been looking at for the past hour? Probably not, and we all know that feeling of taking ourselves to bed after an evening of doom scrolling only to be left feeling wired and uneasy. 

 

Hand embroidery offers a perfect antidote to screen overload and daily stress. This timeless craft provides a creative outlet that engages the mind and fosters a sense of tranquility. Plus, it's a wonderful way to create beautiful, personalised art while taking a break from technology.

Putting our phones away to focus on a creative outlet like hand embroidery offers notable mental health benefits. It allows us to unplug from the constant barrage of notifications and digital distractions, reducing stress and anxiety.

Reduce Stress and Anxiety
The rhythmic, repetitive motions of embroidery are incredibly soothing, helping to calm your mind and reduce anxiety.

Boost Mindfulness
Embroidery demands focus and attention to detail, pulling you into the present moment and promoting a state of mindfulness.

Elevate Your Mood

Creative activities like embroidery trigger the release of dopamine, the “feel-good” neurotransmitter, lifting your spirits.

Build Self-Esteem
Completing an embroidery project brings a sense of accomplishment and pride, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.

Encourage Relaxation
The meditative nature of stitching helps relax both mind and body, providing a peaceful escape from everyday pressures.

 

Ready to give it a try? Put away your phone, pick up a hoop, and start stitching your way to better mental health! Embrace the soothing rhythm of needle and thread, and watch as your stress melts away with each stitch. Whether you create intricate designs or simple patterns, you'll find joy and peace in every project.

 

Give it a go- I'm rooting for you 😊
