Mood Enhancing Mandalas (Review)
There are very few moments in my day when I take the time to just do something for me. My mind is generally all over the place as I navigate kids, work, dishes, laundry, etc. One of my avenues for stress relief is to be creative or artsy.
I love painting when I get the chance. Or maybe creating a wreath or other such crafty something. It allows me to just forget what work I have waiting on me and get those creative juices flowing.
Recently, “adult coloring books” have become popular. I’ve told Math Man that I’d love to have one so that I could reminisce about those coloring books from my childhood and enjoy some creative time just for me.
The Mood Enhancing Mandalas coloring book allowed me to do just that.
In the time when I might have filled my brief silence with Candy Crush or checking Facebook, I put away the technology, picked up the colored pencils, and worked on designing and coloring in my first mandala.
The various mandalas provide plenty of options. I simply opened the book and picked one. I found myself allowing my mind to wander. Honestly, it was really very relaxing.
Have you tried an adult coloring book? Do you find that you relax that way?
