Just Be & C.O.L.O.R.
Choosing Ourselves. Loving Ourselves. Relaxing.
As a child growing up, one of my favorite things to do was color. Even as I got older, it was still one of my favorite things to do. It was calming and allowed me a space to just zone out, tune out everything that was going on and just be. Now, as I am even older, I still find myself needing that same time and space to zone out and just be. Coloring does that for me, and my desire is that this does the same for you.
When looking for a coloring book, a book that had pages I did not feel so overwhelmed by just flipping through, I could not find one. One that did not have such intricate images. If I were stressed just looking at the images, that would really defeat the purpose of coloring for me.
These coloring books include 31 BOLD designs, in each, to keep you engaged for hours. It consists of a mixture of designs, either as an abstract composition of shapes on white background or seamless patterns that extend to the borders of the page which allow you to effortlessly fill pages with any of your favorite colors. So, connect with your inner creative using pens, markers, crayons, watercolor, or coloring pencils. Whichever brings you the most serenity.
Here is an idea. Gift one to a friend, family member, partner, spouse, co-worker. Set at date, pick a page, and color together!!! The simplicity of these designs is perfect for a creative date night, work team building activity, girls’ night in, or a way to break the ice to have a hard conversation. Either way, it creates a nonjudgmental space for anyone to just BE themselves.
Proven benefits of coloring are reducing stress, strengthens your ability to focus, stimulates your inner creative, promotes a more restful sleep when used as a wind down activity, and so much more.
Anyone that has this coloring book, I ask that you take time to relax and have a moment of peace & quiet. A time to just be!
Let's Talk COLOR!
Color meaning and symbolism
When coloring an image, I always suggest you choose colors that speak to you. Speak to how you are currently feeling and how you want to feel as you are coloring. This makes the benefits, reducing stress and anxiety, of doing this activity even greater.
Let me give you an example. When you sit down to color and you are angry, stressed or overwhelmed, you may tend to use or be drawn an intense color like red. If you choose to use a color light green or blues, you may see an immediate decrease in those emotions simply by the colors you chose.
There are many meanings and symbolism associated with color. Here I am providing a basic list of meanings associated with colors, symbols and that you might find in other art. As with all symbols and creative pieces, no one else can interpret it exactly for you. So, always come into yourself first, and ask your Inner self, your Intuition what it might mean to you.
