The latest stress reliever: colouring books

Translation: machine translated
It may sound strange, but colouring promotes well-being. The shapes have a relaxing effect, boosting energy and self-confidence. They also encourage creativity by trying new things. Negative stress is reduced.
I've loved colouring books ever since I was a little girl. Colouring and drawing are really excellent means of expression and allow me to increase my sensitivity. Discovering new forms of creative expression brings me a lot and helps me to develop. The most important thing for me is to take the time to do creative activities in a fun way. I simply love playing with colours and images, and letting myself be healed by them.
Colouring books for relaxation
These beautiful colouring books combine different designs. Colour where and how you want - in or out of the lines, in a single tone or in the colours of the rainbow!
You may have already noticed that different colours evoke different feelings. Blue and green, for example, are calming - a bit like floating in a lake or the ocean - ,and red and orange offer strength and energy. [[productlist:5723732,5723766,2400818,5661684,5693885]]
Arbenita's tips - the keys to success:
Colouring with coloured pencils
With coloured pencils, I always manage to make beautiful shadows in books and create shades of colour by mixing different shades of colour.
To make the colours even, always make sure you move the pencil in the same direction - no back and forth - and layer different thin layers as you go. [[productlist:5609778,5746649,5653317,5659435]]
Colouring with felt pens
Vary between thick, medium or thin felt pens. There are only two rules: don't press too hard on the tip and only go over one spot once. Warning: markers with an alcohol-based solvent will bleed through the page, regardless of the manufacturer. [[productlist:5653700,5748602,5610516,5723954]]

Here we go
It's time to take action. Savour the "flow", the feeling that everything happens on its own and that body and mind become one. You only have to stop once you've filled the notebook ;-)
Have fun!

When I’m not busy checking out the latest desk accessories, I enjoy jetting off to remote corners of the world, lifting weights or taking an evening walk.
