Can gluing your fingers help you live longer?

Ok, a bit of a misleading title. But , I read an article that science says about 45 min to an hour of creative outlet can prolong your life. Our hobby is one of those creative outlets. The key I guess is to keep it positive and not get too hung up. Sometimes I have been known to eye the wall while holding my model if something has gone wrong. Lately I've been a lot more laid back knowing that problems can have several resolutions, not all of which will result in anger. Anyway, below is a clip from the article, enjoy everyday and be happy!

"Lowering the stress level"?  How about those times we get really frustrated or angry when we botch a paint job, lose a part, or the kit is not fitting well? They probably mean artistic activities different than model kit building.

Have to agree with the stress relief factor.  Even when encountering build issues my focus is on solving the problem in front of me and not everything that is going around in the world.
