Baking: A Therapeutic Hobby

The crisis has taken a toll on everyone in the world and undeniably, we are mentally and physically exhausted from it all. We don’t know when exactly this will end, but we sure hope that’s soon.

With all that is happening on our planet right now, most of you look for ways to ease the burden and take away the negativity from your system. Some look for new hobbies, while some focus their minds on their work instead. In Davao City, you have witnessed how the people’s attention changed from making their own versions of dalgona coffee, to doing wholesome transactions in barter communities, and to adopting new plant babies. It’s interesting that people have this natural way of coping up in the middle of all the stressful conditions. You saw how your friends became chefs, bakers and online sellers just to keep their sanity and protect their mental well-being. This is a natural response of the human mind. And resorting to productive and relaxing activities can be an effective way to maintain the positive outlook despite the situation.

Among all these, baking is one that has gone up to the trend. It’s because baking has therapeutic effects on the brain. According to studies, “by using baking as a form of behavioural activation, bakers that struggle with depression or other mood disorders can escape into a focused activity, occupying the whole mind/body spectrum. This redirection of thoughts is a subconscious form of therapy.”

But not all of us are lucky enough to have baking skills, so you might be thinking how do you start your journey without being equipped with the knowledge to do so?
