For the last 6 months my life has been more stressful than I'd really like it to be. Something I know to be true though is that working with beads, making something from scratch, coming up with an idea and searching for the perfect colors and textures to make a project come together, has been the best stress reliever around.
I have been disabled since 2003 and therefore cannot work, do physical activity, or get out of the house much as others do to relieve there stress by walking, running, etc., but I can do beadwork. And I am not too bad at it, actually I get alot of praise for my work.
I mentioned the other day to someone, the economy is isn't getting any better right now, so people are holding on to any extra cash they have. Basically they aren't buying my jewelry. I really don't have a clue as to what I will ever do with all my finished items, but you know what? that's okay.
I can sit at the table and bead my stress away.
Next time your stress level is out of control, get into a hobby, you'll be surprised at how much it helps. Oh ya, and don't forget to pray.
