Why sticking is so calming
Step by step towards more serenity in everyday life
Everyday life is often loud, hectic, and full of to-do lists. Appointments, work, family, smartphones – we're constantly in "on mode." This makes it all the more important to consciously incorporate short breaks in which we can unwind and do something good for ourselves. A surprisingly simple method for releasing stress and finding inner peace is gluing by numbers .
Because gluing is relaxing. Step by step, you'll immerse yourself in a creative flow that slows you down, organizes your thoughts, and allows you to fully arrive in the here and now.
Go with the flow!
Psychologists call this the "flow effect": a state in which we are completely absorbed in an activity that challenges us but doesn't overwhelm us. This is exactly what happens when we do gluing by numbers:
🟡 Focus on the here and now – no distractions, just dots and colors.
🟠 Clear process – you follow a simple system, without pressure.
🔴 Visible progress – with each point the picture grows and you experience small moments of success.
🟣 Relaxation for the mind – instead of brooding, inner peace sets in.
Gluing by numbers = active meditation
Unlike traditional meditation, where many people find it difficult to sit still and let their thoughts wander, sticking offers a tangible, active form of mindfulness .
You're busy, but in a gentle, repetitive way. It's precisely this combination that makes gluing by numbers so effective: hands busy, mind clear.
How to integrate gluing into your everyday life:
1. Relax in the evening
Instead of doomscrolling on your phone, spend 20 minutes sticking dots. This way, you'll create an evening ritual that will relax you and help you sleep better.
2. Creative breaks at work
If you're working from home, how about reading a few points during your lunch break or between meetings? This will help reset your mind.
3. Enjoy family time
Gluing is a cross-generational activity—children, parents, and grandparents can work together on a single motif. This creates a sense of relaxation and togetherness.
4. Create moments of mindfulness
Start your day with 5 minutes of sticking – like a mini meditation ritual for more focus and serenity.
Conclusion: Find peace point by point
Gluing is relaxing. It's a creative, simple, and effective way to escape the hectic pace of everyday life and rediscover yourself. Whether alone or with others, gluing by numbers will bring you clarity, serenity, and small moments of happiness.
