We all have those days where you just wanna shoot someone or yourself cuz well for a lack of better words its been an "iffy day". Call me crazy but working on puzzles really calms me down. Somehow the stress just magically disappears. The only thing on my mind at that moment is putting the pieces together.
I never really thought about it till just now but I think it calms me down cuz I know im putting something together, kinda like fixing what is broken. Yea its a crazy way to look at it, but
then again ive probably got the most random mind on the face of this planet.
I just bought 2 boxes of puzzles over the weekend. Each one is a 1000 pieces but my word do i love putting it together when I can find the time that is. When my dad saw me buy them he laughed and asked if this was for me or my 8 year old nephew. I told him it was for me and he started laughing and said "how old are you again"? THERE IS NO AGE LIMIT FOR WORKING ON PUZZLES ..... I CAN BE A 100 AND WILL STILL LOVE TO PIECE ONE TOGETHER.
Basically the conclusion to all that rambling was: try it the next time you are stressed or have nothing better to do in life!! :)
p.s working on a bed is a not a good idea, too soft a surface but it was the most spacious area i could find where i would have to move it to clean my room :p

no idea why that came out upside down ... its actually straight on my laptop and phone :S |
Do you listen to music while solving this, or is that too distracting?
ReplyDeleteI don't have the patience or the attention span for jigsaw puzzles, to be honest.
I do indeed .... its so much more effective when you got some good music playing in the back ;)
Deletemusic helps me focus. i used to find solving math problems difficult without music. haha
