Hello, everyone!
As many of you know, Im a busy mom of four little ones, so Im always looking for ways to slow down, and relax. One of the activities I recently discovered that helps me do just that is coloring!  Now, I know that coloring often gets associated with young children, but its actually great for us grown ups as well, so let’s reap the many benefits of coloring. 
Even if you dont consider yourself an “artist” or even remotely creative, coloring offers a great way to express yourself and try something new. I also find keeping a Self Care/Gratitude journal incredibly beneficial.  So when I came across THIS coloring book that is also a Self Care journal, I HAD to have it!. 

 

benefits of coloring and self care journaling

As adults, we often neglect activities that bring us joy and peace. 
I enjoy the coloring books by 
Moon Flower Child .  They have a touching back story, and are a sustainable and ethical company.

One benefit of coloring is it engages both sides of the brain, which helps improve cognitive flexibility, enables more creative problem solving, and even lowers stress and anxiety.

A seconed benefit of coloring is that it offers an easy way to step away from all of the hustle and bustle in your day and simply reconnect with yourself.

Reconnect with your inner child through coloring ☀️

Whether you try a coloring book filled with designs, create your own masterpiece on white paper, or color in some relaxing mandalas, you will probably be surprised with how calming and soothing this activity can be. I hope you find as much pleasure in coloring as I have!

Take care,
