When was the last time you created something with your hands? Like a cake, a painting, or a pair of socks? Do you remember the feeling you had after finishing it, the satisfaction you got even if it wasn’t “perfect”?
Handicrafts can be an excellent way to experience flow, decrease stress, and relieve anxiety. However, when you’re, for whatever reason, a bit lost in the quest for a balanced life, it can be quite difficult to choose a project that would suit you.
For that, let’s take a look at the subreddit ‘Something I Made.‘ As its name suggests, this online community unites people who are proud of the fruits of their labor and want to show them off to others, congratulating each other on a job well done and encouraging people to keep at it.
So, continue scrolling to check out their top recent posts, and fire up our earlier publications on the subreddit here and here if you want more.
