How do you deal with the stress in your life? Do you enjoy a bit of a run? Are you a yoga guru? Whatever you do to relieve stress sometimes can be a cause of stress. Didn't think about that now, did you?
In order to do more stress relieving activities and to regain my focus, I found this new way to bust your stress. As more and more people are being driven towards colouring as an art therapy and a great way to soothe your nerves, I thought I'd give it a try as well. This mindfulness activity helps you draw in creativity and helps you hone your attention. There are so many options that you can choose from. From intricate and complex design to simple broad patterns. When you start colouring into patterns repeatedly, it leads you into some sort of a meditation and whatever method of meditation you may want to try, it helps and ends up benefiting the mind, body and soul.
I think the next colouring book I shall explore will be of Mandalas. I read somewhere that Monks take weeks to create intricate Mandalas and then wipe away their beautiful creations. Hey, maybe that's how they achieve inner peace. If they can try it out, why shouldn't you? It most definitely is a promising calming tool and a very easy and yet effective way to achieve relaxation. It helps you reorients your mind and take your mind off from emotional pain, stress or any anxiety that one may be experiencing. It is, in my mind, one of the best ways to reinvent yourself.
