Crafting can help you get into a “flow state,” sometimes referred to as “being in the zone.” Fully engaging in a hobby encourages a state of flow where a sense of time and self-consciousness seem to disappear. Allowing attention to flow away from ourselves and into a craft can offer relief from negative feelings, and promote a sense of happiness and satisfaction.
