“Life is like making a series of cakes, but the recipe is yours to modify and perfect.”
― Scott E. Shjefte
When stress becomes a problematic factor in society, we have to find positive and creative ways to relieve stress. We have heard of stress eating, but who could have imagined that we would ever encounter terms like stress baking.
Terrific, right?
What is Stress Baking?
Well, believe it or not, baking relieves stress. The science behind it is more psychology-focused. Baking involves creativity, which impacts your well-being.
In the process of expressing yourself creatively, you encounter stress relief. Baking is, by itself, a form of therapy, especially for baking enthusiasts.
There is a lot of relief that comes from doing something that you love. You get to place your full concentration on the task that you are undertaking. At that moment, that is all that matters.
This allows you to focus on baking as you forget about the challenging or stressful conditions that you might be faced with. In the end, there is a reward, which is the result after the baking process. This keeps you inspired throughout and makes you take exceptional care in each step to ensure that you get a favorable outcome.
The Benefits of Baking For Others
Baking isn’t only about baking for yourself, but you can bake for others too.
While doing that, you want to ensure that you bake something nice that others can easily appreciate. This will make you put great effort into the baking process. You will want to come up with some bites that they will enjoy.
The prize at this instance is to have them enjoy what you have baked. When you are so involved, it is so easy to forget about being stressed. Your mind focuses on other things that matter at that instance and will easily forget that you had a challenge.
On the other hand, the fact that people will appreciate the work you do by the results, you work hard to ensure that they are impressed. Your mind concentrates on the task that you are undertaking.
In this instance, you only care about baking, and nothing else makes sense. When you shift your focus in this manner, it becomes easier to relieve stress.
Focusing on Possible Solutions
You could also come up with possible solutions for the problems that you are facing. Since baking is like your safe space, it becomes easier for you to come up with the right decisions. At that moment of doing what you love, great things happen within.
