Or how doing something can give you renewed energy, even when you were feeling tired?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s no coincidence. What we do with our hands also affects our brain, attention, and state of mind. And we can learn to use this connection more consciously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re building a carport, knitting a sweater, repairing a bicycle, or gardening is less important. What matters is what the activity does for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this workshop, we explore how practical and creative activities can help us regulate our state of mind. Sometimes we need to slow down and find calm; at other times, we need more energy, focus, or motivation to take action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Topics we&#8217;ll explore include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Why our energy levels and state of mind are constantly changing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How we can become accustomed to high levels of stress and lose touch with what it feels like to be calm.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why working with our hands can influence our mental state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to choose activities that help us either relax or generate renewed energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to become better at recognising our body&#8217;s signals and consciously shifting mental gears.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A challenge to Take Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every participant will receive a small, practical challenge to take home, offering an opportunity to put the workshop&#8217;s ideas into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No special skills, experience, or preparation are required. The challenge simply provides a chance to experience firsthand how working with your hands can influence your state of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop lasts 45\u201360 minutes and combines psychological insights, relatable examples, and active participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone is welcome, regardless of gender, age, or experience with crafts or creative activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No preparation is required. The workshop takes place in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Workshop Facilitator<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lone Aller is a qualified psychologist (MSc in Psychology) with years of experience in the business world, specialising in leadership, motivation, and people development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is also the owner of Ulden, a yarn shop where her interest in crafts and creative activities meets her professional background in psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her approach is practical, down-to-earth, and informal, with room for both humour and reflection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A workshop about energy, state of mind, and why creating something with our hands is good for us.
