Newest form of therapy
My newest form of therapy isn't so new;
I'm coloring.
Yep, you heard me right.
Coloring.
In a proper coloring book, no less.
My mom bought me this slightly sophisticated architecture coloring book last weekend, and I love it. It's actually pretty freaking cool.
Of course, coloring is even better now that I have a full professional Prismacolor pencil and marker set as opposed to crayons. I'm a little ashamed I let it stay buried for so long.
I don't know what biological brain stuff is going on when I pull out this book and put color between the lines, but I tell ya what: preschoolers are onto something. It calms me down, it clears my mind, and it makes me feel better. We should all color far more than we do.
Thanks, Mom!

Yay! Colouring is good for the soul! We'll have to have a play date soon... ;-)
Coloring is so therapeutic and there are lots of adult coloring books. Adult as in serious drawings like biology, fashion, or architecture (not adult adult, though there probably are THOSE too! LOL).
In our boring jobs it's nice to find balance to nurture our creativity in other outlets!
