Some people think that creative hobbies help to reduce stress, whereas others do not agree. They consider them useless. 

In my opinion, creative hobbies allow people to cope with stress. First of all, being immersed in a hobby allows a person to forget about stress since joy generated from a hobby is contrary to stressful emotions. For example, if a person really likes embroidery, he or she is happy while they are doing it, which means there is no place for stress in their mind. Secondly, hobbies are usually relaxing and I would say even therapeutic. For instance, it is a scientific fact that those who have hobbies live a longer and happier life. Joy that comes from such activity has a healing effect.

At the same time there are people who think that fighting stress by using hobbies is useless. They consider medicines namely, anti-stress pills, the best cure.

I do not agree with the opinion mentioned above. Usually medicines produce some side effects that are not beneficial for health. They can also create addictions in people who cannot manage stress without pills anymore.

In conclusion, I would like to say there are opposing views on this issue. At first sight, creative hobbies are useless for stress reduction but in actual fat it helps a lot to deal with it. Thus, I strongly believe that creative hobbies are the best way to cope with stress.
