I noticed this instagram post - because of the colours, especially the orange! It's so cheerful!
Then I read the blurb: when we work with our hands doing crafting, gardening and so on, our hands trigger the release of chemicals that produce happiness in our brains...
These are called "effort driven reward cycles"...
A good reason to encourage children to be creative and to do more things for themselves... There's JOY in ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Maybe adults need to do more, rather than less, as we get older... After all, we want to be happy, too!
An interesting thought!
