I didn’t expect this to help my stress so much. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, I pick it up and focus on the stitches. It’s a simple but really calming way to relax and clear my mind.

I struggle with stress and this has become one of my favourite ways to unwind. Focusing on the stitches helps me switch off from everything else.

I got gifted this embroidery journal for Christmas and honestly didn’t think I’d use it this much, but it’s been amazing for my mental health. I find myself picking it up whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed, and just spending some time stitching really helps me switch off and relax.
