DIY Stress Relief Trinkets
DIY Stress Relief Trinkets
Remember the fidget spinner rage of ’17? And the essential oil craze that started a few years back? How about the stress ball frenzy that has been going strong for ages?
There is a reason why these stress, anxiety, and attentional trinkets have been so far-reaching and so rampant. Whether or not they actually serve their purpose depends on the person and a variety of individual factors. Still, even if you don’t get the intended use out of them, they offer a sense of calm, a sense of joy, and just a little touch of pleasure to small moments in your day.
I am very much hoping that your summer has been a relaxed and fun-filled one so far. If you have been practicing some summer self-care…what better time to make some DIY stress trinkets? Or to make some for someone else as a way to show gratitude and kindness? If you have not been practicing summer self-care…what better time and what better way to start?
