In today's Church paper the message was......"When it comes to hating.....gossiping....ignoring....ridiculing and holding grudges.....STOP IT".....But some people thrive on it.
If you are bored get a good hobby.....There's a reason we feeel happy and relaxed when we knit, paint or color in color books.......The action and thought processes that artistic tasks require trigger our brain to release serotonin and dopamine, neuro-transmitters that boost our mood, confidence and sense of self worth....It is doing the project and seeing the finished project that gives us that good sense of worth.
What is more....repetitive motion...like knitting or crocheting.....creates a meditative-like state that is study-proven to lower levels of stress-inducing cortisol......so choose a project that suits you best and feel the joy rush in. I just finished another baby shawl....for Andrea's coming new baby and can hardly wait to see what I tackle next.....Yes, keeping busy with a hobby has saved my life through the years and given me a great sense of accomplishment......
Another quiet weekend.....they seem to come and go so fast now days.
