According to Pincas, the step-by-step thinking process that baking requires can increase mindfulness and decrease the presence of sad thoughts.<\/p>\n<p>Baking can also reduce stress when it\u2019s used as a productive form of self-expression and communication. When it\u2019s difficult to find the words, baking for someone can communicate everything from appreciation to sympathy which helps reduce stress. The cultural norm of bringing food to someone when a loved one has passed says everything you need to say when there aren\u2019t adequate words.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a form of altruism. Pincus explains that baking for others can make you feel good about yourself for doing something meaningful and thoughtful without expecting anything in return.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBaking for others can increase a feeling of wellbeing, contribute to stress relief and make you feel like you\u2019ve done something good for the world, which perhaps increases your meaning in life and connection with other people,\u201d says Pincus.<\/p>\n<p> So now that you have more than one reason to make those homemade cookies that everyone loves, get to baking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While most people see the act of baking for others as a form of generosity, psychologists reveal that there can be many psychological benefits for the baker, as well.
