Life can be stressful, that's for sure, so I've found a way of defragging from the stress by doing jigsaw puzzles. Have you ever worked on a puzzle? The first thing that happens as you pour the pieces out of the box is chaos and disorganization.
All of the puzzle pieces are willy-nilly, yet there is a calm that comes over when organizing the pieces so that each one eventually lands in the place that it was meant to land.
There have been countless studies on the benefits of jigsaw puzzles and all of the evidence points to the very fact that jigsaw puzzles give your brain a full-body workout that can benefit us all.
Jigsaw puzzles are trending and more and more people are finding solace and comfort in unplugging from the world and assembling jigsaw puzzles. Couples are using date night to assemble puzzles near a cozy fire and a great glass of wine.
Celebrities, life coaches, business giants, jigsaw puzzle experts, therapists, teachers, among others, use jigsaw puzzles in their repertoire of daily life and all have one lesson to share.
If It Doesn't Click, Don't Force It
Admit it, you've worked a puzzle and have actually been to the point of trying to force a puzzle piece into a spot where it didn't belong.
Do you remember trying to convince yourself that even though you know that it doesn't belong there and that it leaves a weird and hideous gap that it might, just might be because the cardboard is frayed, peeling, or somehow at fault?
You continue to force the piece by pressing, pushing, and turning it randomly trying to get it into the spot that you, deep down, know it will not fit into.
Trying to convince yourself that it will go into a spot where it shouldn't.
Eventually, moving on to the next piece, and the next piece after that, leads you back to the piece that you were trying to force earlier.
Now, it finally clicks into the place where it belongs.
Jigsaw puzzles are like life and people are just like puzzle pieces. While some people look like they might be the perfect fit and be exactly what you are looking for in that spot in your puzzle, they might just be another piece of your life puzzle and not the one that fits into the key spot of your puzzle.
When you find that key piece, they just fit. That's love...
We Turn Your Most Cherished Photo Memories Into Personalized Puzzle fun...
Many years ago I purchased a personalized puzzle from a company that had an impressive website and all the right images. The price was ridiculously high and the time that it took to receive the product was weeks from the time of order. When I finally received the puzzle I was so disappointed that I became skeptical of ordering online. The puzzle that I had paid a hefty fee for was extremely smaller than expected, as they never advertised a finished size on the product but had an impressive piece count that misled me. Not only that, it was thin as a matchbook! My disappointment stayed with me for a very long time...
I am a retired Special Needs teacher who used puzzles in the classroom. I am also a widowed Mom to the most incredible amazing son, Artie, who has autism and is my inspiration and helper.
My son was having difficulties with focusing and I thought that a photo puzzle of himself would help. Immediately, I flashed back to my experience and decided against it. The idea began to bug me so I opened my own company to correct all of the pitfalls of the industry. Our puzzles are made thick and with high-quality materials. After all, they were made for my son and he sets the bar pretty high! The idea was born out of love and continues to grow...
