We are women, friends, sisters, cousins, daughters, mothers, girlfriends, wives. We are everything and anything else, we are always running from one place to another, we do one task while thinking about the next. Our daily lives are super challenging and, sometimes, caring for our mental well-being is relegated to the background.
Despite all the information we have regarding the benefits of practicing mindfulness, we don't always know how to practice it. Nowadays there are countless ways to practice conscious attention, from a simple task, like brushing your teeth, or breathing in and out. However, none of these practices are as stimulating as drawing.
Whenever you get home after a long day, turn off your cell phone, put the TV aside and step away from stress. Go to the bookshelf and get a coloring book and pencils and surrender to the moment. Without realizing it, you will be in another universe where peace and harmony reign.
This therapy has several advantages, such as:
- Brain disconnection: when coloring we are working the logical part of the brain and our creative part. In this way, we disconnect from thoughts and emotions;
- We give free rein to our creativity: spending our time on activities that give us pleasure helps to increase our creativity, especially when we are coloring a drawing;
- We carry out an activity for pure pleasure: with an extremely challenging daily life we rarely stop to think how many times we take a little time just to do something we enjoy. Who knows if coloring is an activity that gives you pleasure and relaxes you.
Recently, our online store received a new product that meets this theme: the book Magical Shapes , which offers us fantastic drawings to color. Since it is a relatively small and very light book, you can take it with you everywhere. A pocket therapy that you can purchase through this link .
Our mental health is as important as our physical health. Even if you have an extremely busy life, never stop dedicating at least one hour a day entirely dedicated to yourself. Dedicating yourself to yourself and enjoying your own company is not selfishness, it is self-love.
So that you can try this technique, we leave you with an image, so that you can get carried away by your creativity. Print it and... you know what you have to do. Have a good time!
