There are strange goings-on in living rooms all over the world. Colouring books are being completed. Under normal circumstances, this might not sound so unusual. But these books don’t belong to the pre-schoolers. It’s their parents who are picking up the crayons.
Forget yoga and meditation (although they do have their place). The new way to relax from your working week is to grab some pencils, pens or crayons, and get colouring.
It’s even thought to help counter mental health issues like anxiety and depression.
The pictures in this book are all completed by my own fair hands, and from one such book: Being in the Now by Luscious Books.
I love this book because rather than just the pictures, there are wise words of wisdom, giving us handy life tips at the same time. Zen therapy, you might say.
It’s become the perfect way for me to wind down after work and get into the right frame of mind for accessing my creative brain and writing.
The paper isn’t very thick with these books, unlike those of Johanna Basford, so there is only one image per sheet. However, this allows you to carefully cut out each page and hang it on a wall, if you’d like to. Neat, huh?
I believe I may well do that. Just as soon as I’ve finished this little blue bit…
