Grandmacore for Stress Reduction!

Engaging in repetitive creative tasks like knitting, crochet, embroidery, or quilting forces you to focus on the process--which acts as a form of active meditation that distracts from anxious thoughts. As mindful activities, traditional #grandmacore arts promote the release of feel-good neurotransmitters, and provide a sense of accomplishment and emotional release. They shift focus away from racing thoughts, activate the body's calming "rest and digest" system, and lower stress hormones like cortisol.

Maybe grandma was on to something after all!
