The 5 best reasons for Diamond Painting

Why diamond painting will enrich your life

Most people's everyday lives are often hectic and full of appointments, duties or things that need to be done. We often lack regenerative breaks or activities that help us to relax in between. However, if you don't consciously take a break from time to time and thus take time out from the stress of everyday life, you will feel burnt out, drained of energy and listless in the long run. Many people who have already discovered diamond painting for themselves are very happy to have found a hobby that is not only easy to do and brings creativity and craftsmanship into their lives, but also offers a relaxing balance to stress and hecticness, especially when painting with diamonds. It is not without reason that diamond painting is one of the hottest hobbies at the moment. In this article, we reveal all the benefits of this leisure activity and why it will also enrich your life!

1. reduces your everyday stress

Stress can have different causes and effects, but it seems to affect us all these days. We have so many different tasks to fulfill, deadlines to meet and things to do every day that it often feels like we're trapped in a hamster wheel with no way out. Whether you are a mother or a father, have a stressful office job, are still in training, have a responsible management position or are self-employed, life is demanding and sometimes everything gets on top of us. In order to cope with this stress, we need to take regular breaks to relax and relieve the pressure of the day. In the best case scenario, we need a method that does not cause us any additional obligations and therefore pressure, such as fixed dates for creative courses or yoga classes. After all, if the hobby that is supposed to provide a balance causes us additional private stress so that we can make it there on time or have to hire a babysitter, then the relaxation effect is quickly lost and we feel even more stressed and under pressure. That's why an activity like diamond painting, which we can do at home at any time and without the stress of deadlines and without much preparation in between, is ideal for creating little time-outs that relieve our tension and offer us a balance to our stressful everyday lives. As you pick up the pieces one by one and place them on your canvas, you can literally feel the stress of the day slipping away and you become calmer and more relaxed. 2

. Exercises body and mind

Creative activities with your hands stimulate the imagination and thus certain brain functions that can have a positive effect on your well-being. Diamond Painting has similar positive effects to those already known from puzzles, as it follows similar sequential patterns. This means that you can activate both hemispheres of your brain while painting, similar to creating a jigsaw puzzle, and train your ability to concentrate at the same time. With diamond painting, you also train your fine motor skills while working with the small glitter stones, improve your hand-eye coordination and practise the concentration and patience you need for such an activity. You will also learn to solve problems through strategy and structure - in this case by sorting diamond stones and assigning colors and symbols over and over again. Developing and practicing all these skills while pursuing a relaxing hobby helps you to keep both your body and mind fit and healthy. Last but not least, diamond painting makes you happy through several processes: Firstly, you repeatedly achieve partial goals - such as individual sections of a picture or finished color areas. In addition, like looking for mushrooms, it is always a small feeling of happiness when you search for a long time for the right symbol and finally discover it. Secondly, you are rewarded at the end with the overall result, which you can also hang on the wall as a finished, glittering diamond picture, earning you admiration and recognition. Every partial success and, above all, the finished work of art give us fulfillment and happiness, as the happiness hormone dopamine is released in the body. A good balance of dopamine in turn has a positive effect on our entire life, it cheers us up, makes us more balanced and energized.

3. meaningful leisure activities

Have you often wondered what you could do in your free time that would be better than being bored or spending hours mindlessly flicking through TV programs and not feeling good at the end of the day? With a meaningful activity that brings you joy, you can not only forget boredom, but also increase your creativity and energy and bring enthusiasm and fulfillment into your life. Because even if you feel tired and drained after a hard day's work, you can draw more energy, fulfillment and balance from a satisfying leisure activity than you might think. Especially if you've been doing monotonous routine work all day, doing something creative will give you an energy boost that will revitalize your spirit. A creative activity like Diamond Painting is ideal for this and it can be done without any preparation, deadlines or pressure: Just get started whenever you like, and there's no one to tell you how far you should get or when and how often you have to do it. You don't have to achieve anything except the goals you set yourself. This is wonderfully relaxing and an absolute antidote to all the to-dos and obligations of everyday life. It can also be very fulfilling to fully immerse yourself in a new hobby such as diamond painting. For most people who have tried it once, it is so fascinating that they forget time and space and immerse themselves enthusiastically in another world full of glittering stones. It's even more fun if you make contacts with people who share your hobby and can exchange ideas with them.
