More and more people are looking for various methods to help get rid of depressive thoughts and depression. Some are engaged in sports, others – meditation, the third – computer games, the fourth – handicrafts, one of the most effective in reducing stress – cross stitching.

Embroidery with a cross-stitch was popular at all times. Today, however, younger people are interested in him. Constant brain and hand work helps to concentrate on activities, not to think about extraneous things, thus allowing the body to relax and rest. Embroidery has more benefits.

It helps to focus

In embroidery, all attention is paid to reading the scheme. Laying crosses from the scheme on the fabric at first glance seems like an easy task. This is the case, but this hobby requires 100% concentration. The responsible calculation will determine whether the crosses are embroidered in the right place, whether the embroidered picture is free from errors and whether it meets your expectations and the picture of the final result presented by the manufacturer. It is the constant calculation, especially for women, that helps to easily distance themselves from everyday work and worries, to "release" thoughts that cause tension, and to dive into embroidery wholeheartedly.

Easy to relax.

When embroidering with a cross-stitch, naturally all thoughts are focused on the process of embroidery. It is constantly thinking about what color thread to choose, where to embroider the symbols indicated in the scheme, what embroidery strategy to choose, so that the threads inserted by the manufacturer are enough, and the crosses are equally beautiful. Watching as a slightly growing figure adds even more to embroidery, which guarantees complete relaxation and involvement in your favorite activities.

Reduces stress.

Cross embroidery is a kind of meditation that helps to overcome stress and has a positive effect on both physical and spiritual health. Concentration and relaxation prevent any negative thoughts, therefore, even in the most difficult moments, a feeling of calm is experienced when embroidery. Due to the variety of threads, this hobby is assimilated to color therapy. This hobby is especially loved by people who do stress-filled jobs, like teachers, doctors, insurance brokers, sales managers or mothers with children with special needs. All of us are united by one – the desire to relax and calm down.

Encourages communication.

A very popular embroidery hobby is increasingly creating new acquaintances. Especially active embroidery groups, forums from which communication degenerates into live acquaintances and true friendships. Often embroidered women, as well as men (yes, yes - they also embroider :) - discover like-minded people who help to overcome the difficulties and stress that have arisen with their advice or experience. 

Developing creativity.

Embroidery is not just about laying crosses. Embroidery raises many creative ideas on how to decorate houses, clothes or otherwise realize your work. Starting with simple designs later, more complex ones are chosen, moving from standard fabrics to the alignment of colored fabrics. And properly adapted fabrics and framing only serve to further encourage new creative challenges.

Helps get rid of dependencies.

Cross embroidery is a very engaging and time-intensive activity. When you sit down for a few stitches, it is not noticeable as 4 hours or more pass. This can be perfectly used to get rid of addictions like binge eating in the evenings, smoking cigarettes or unconscious checking your phone every few minutes. Try this hobby and you will see how no flawed thoughts will arise in embroidery.

Easy to learn.

Cross embroidery is one of the hobbies that is easy to learn. If you know how to count to 10 and score a thread into a needle, you can definitely embroider with a cross. When starting embroidery, you can choose schemes or sets that have a complete set: fabric, thread, needle, scheme and instruction on how to embroider. Therefore, you no longer need to think about additional measures or look for information on how to start embroidering.

Improves brain activity and develops memory.

Embroidery works on the eyes, both hands, as well as both hemispheres of the brain. Therefore, even in a state of rest, the brain does not dry. Also, in embroidery, memory development tasks are used, which speeds up the process. In order to look at the scheme fewer times, attempts are made to memorize various forms or combinations of characters that help to save time, as well as develop memory.

Developing patience and discipline.

Cross embroidery is a long, time-intensive and painstaking process. There will be no quick result, but the introduction of discipline can lead to excellent results. For example, embroider at least 100 crosses every day, under a specific object or offer color. If the embroidery is small, it can be carried with you, and with the advent of a free minute embroidered several crosses. This also learns about efficiency, which can then be applied both in everyday life and at work.

Creating unique handmade gifts.

The best gift that is created with love. These are the cross-embroidered gifts. It can be open-ups, tabs, paintings, magnets, pendants or even decorated clothes. Handmade gifts are especially appreciated, so you can create and donate boldly.
