I received a colouring in book as a gift from a friend a while back - who thought I may have needed to take some time out for me! I love it!

It took me back to being a child and care free - I allocate an hour a week to sit with my pencils and colouring in book!

(You can pick these up now at bookshops like Dymocks or order online)

  • Who has tried this type of stress-relief? 
  • What did you think?

  • I first saw these type of books just before I started treatment. A good friend then gave me one as a gift. I haven't done much, but I love it

    How lovely Daina, there are other books with the Buddhist mandala patterns as well. They are really relaxing to fill in. Awesome that you've found something to keep you busy. Take care, Tracey B ??

  • Interesting thing before my young 21yr old Daughter had a break down she began to by coloring books and colour in them, we didn't find them till she was in the psyc unit, they told me it's a revert back to childhood as it was a comfort and took your mind away. Funny how things come about. Adean xx

  • I really want one  if those books. I have been reading lots about it. Apparently very good for those of us who don't meditate well. I think I may have mentioned to you that I meditate daily, however spend most of my meditation making mental shopping lists or planning what to have for dinner.

    definately plan to get one.
