Releasing Happy Chemicals

“Using technology to do something does not feel as good as completing it by hand, right?

This is because your brain recognizes labor better when it is performed by hand. So when you ditch the machines and work by hand, the sense of reward is greater.

Our world is saturated with information, a thousand things make a grab for our attention at every moment.

When you work by hand, you need to be attentive and repetitive, which forces your brain to be gathered in one place.

It helps remove distractions and sharpens your focus, allowing your oversaturated mind to catch a break.

So ditch the dishwasher for a hand-scrubbing. Knit up some scarves instead of scrolling through social media. Your brain will be happier for it.“
