Making jewellery can be a very mindful experience. Working with your hands and natural materials such as natural stone beads, possibly learning about the mineral properties, allowing your mind to explore freely in the process of creation, slowing it down and being present and reflective in the moment, connecting with your emotions and letting them surface as the bracelet is taking shape - all of this is very rewarding. I found joy and an overall sense of wellbeing making these two bracelets.
(bonus: you can always reuse the beads and create something new, without spending money or adding to the landfill)
