As I seem to be on a new road of self discovery at the moment I thought I'd give some colour therapy a go. I have heard from quite of few of my friends that this actually works. I was secretly thinking to myself that even if it didn't work I really wanted to do some colouring in!!! :D I searched on Amazon for Adult Colouring books, now I'd just like to confirm that is colouring books for Adults and not something a little bit *coughs* a-hem! h ha ha!! And these were the two that caught my eye....."Colour Therapy, an anti-stress colouring book" and "Cool cats". I also treated myself to a good set of felt tip pens.
I chose a page from the blue section to start and since orange is the complimentary colour of blue I used golden yellow and orange accents.
Not quite finished yet but almost there.
Feeling like a kid again, it took me back to colouring as a child. It really focused my mind and I found myself immersed in it for over an hour before I realised. Sometimes I find it really difficult to clear my mind of everything and even when I'm trying to relax my brain is going ten to the dozen. This really helps clear your mind and concentrate on one thing, making the picture look pretty with amazing colours!!!
If you're interested the two books and the pens including delivery came to £15.95, cheaper than an hour of actual therapy ;)
Feeling happy :D
Ooh, I love a good colouring book! Although I do find some of the adult ones are a bit too detailed, my poor eyesight can't cope!! We have the same taste in pens though 😉 xx

ReplyDeleteI love doing these and they look really good on a notice board etc.
