Knitting as therapy

Stress is the emotion generated by states of tension and worry, it occurs due to the pressures generated in everyday life and the pace of life that society demands nowadays and to present it has a direct and negative impact on mental health.

However, it is necessary to know that stress can be prevented or controlled in different ways such as: control of food, practising sports, yoga, walking or other body control exercises.

One of the main reasons knitting became a form of therapy is because, as the activity unfolds, people learn to focus their attention on the present moment, much like yoga, mindfulness and meditation.

The repetitive movements of knitting, for example, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which dissipates that 'fight or flight' response.
