Being busy takes my attention out of the negative thinking, and even I can forget it.
Improve yourself mentally and physically.
I still agree that sometimes we need to be idle to refresh ourselves, but just enough, not too much.
Being idle can cause feelings of boredom, lack of purpose, and a sense of being
unproductive. It can also lead to negative thinking and feelings of low self-worth. When I
do nothing, I feel I’m superabundant.
Being busy can also improve your financial situation, which is an important aspect of a happy life. Talk about a DIY project. DIY Your Shoes

The reasons why we are interested in this project
First, It helps to husband a large amount of money. Because when you modify the
shoe, it will become the new one. Therefore, you don't need to buy new shoes.
This activity also helps you present your vivid imagination and style through
the patterns and the colors you use to customize your shoes.
Customizing the shoe makes you more unique and fashionable. No one in
this world has an identical shoe as you. It's really intriguing.
You can also use these DIY shoes as a gift, and it is still more meaningful
than available- buying shoes, right?
There are still some opinions that the cost of decoration can be more expensive than
buying a new pair of shoes, but I think we can make use of everything and exploit the
creation. We can still make beautiful shoes without paying too much.
