Doing handmade paper crafts can strengthen the brain, improve the mind and cultivate ones character.
As the saying goes, if you use your hands and brain, your mind will be ingenious. In the process of making handmade paper crafts, I feel focused and forget about things and myself, thus entering a free world, relaxed and happy, and enjoying it. It is a step-by-step process to experience learning, digestion, and absorption to achieve innovation and even originality. Although time, energy and hard work have been invested during this period, what is more gained is spiritual joy, joy of success and happiness when sharing with friends. Every time I do handwork, it is an experience and a kind of enjoyment. Troubles are abandoned, the temperament is cultivated, the body and mind are healthy, and the soul is purified and sublimated. Origami cultivates your patience, carefulness and independent thinking ability, tempers your temperament, adjusts peoples mentality, helps eliminate peoples impetuousness, irritability, eager for quick success and other bad emotions, and cultivates a positive and good optimistic attitude towards life.
When you are busy, when you are depressed, sad, helpless, free, or bored, fold origami or do other handmade paper crafts. I believe it will dispel your bad emotions and make you feel comfortable and happy. It is also a good choice to appreciate the paper art works of masters. The spiritual enjoyment and joy brought by this tasteful visual feast cannot be replaced by anything else.
With paper art, happiness comes with you.
