While crafting involves creativity, it is also a meditative activity. Because it requires your full attention, you stay in the present moment the entire time. And in doing so, you enter a state of relaxation.
The Cleveland Clinic refers to such activities as “grandma hobbies,” aptly describing craft activities like knitting, woodworking, doing puzzles, and baking.

“After a long day of work and decision-making, our brains become tired,” Cleveland Clinic psychologist Dr. Susan Albers explains. “Many people turn to the phone as a way to unwind, but this actually revs up your brain instead of calming it down.
“Crafting or tech-free hobbies are a way to move your mind into a state of calm.”

Did you carve those yourself? I know that's a stupid question, of course you did. It's just that they are so perfect it's hard to believe they weren't poured in a mold heated.

If you intend to keep crafting as a hobby to enjoy, relaxing is most important. So if you find yourself getting frustrated, Dr. Albers advises trying something else. She also advises finding activities that perfectly match your energy levels.

“If you are feeling tired, choose an activity that has slow, repetitive movements, such as crocheting or knitting,” Dr. Albers said. “If your brain is feeling alert, a brain puzzle or putting together a puzzle can help to tap into your focus and concentration.”

Evil Paint Brush Defeated
I finally defeated the dreaded paint brush. Context this paint brush was always loosening bristles, and no matter what I did, it always fell off the handle or left bristles on my projects. I coated the bristles in Modge Podge to make it easier to paint, and once painted, I sealed it in resin. I currently use it as a hair stick.
