I am the most non-creative human in the world. Fact. I can't even draw a straight line. But when I was a kid, I loved to colour. So when I saw this colouring book for adults on Amazon a few months ago, I knew it would be right up my street! I don't have to stare dauntingly at a blank page or create the shapes, I just get to colour them in! Don't get me wrong, sometimes I stare at my pencils for about 20 minutes when trying to decide which colours I want to use...I'm not the matchy matchy type, you see.
There's something about doing things that aren't digital, a total analogue hobby if you will. I love being able to switch off and just get lost in the doodles and swirls. It really is therapeutic and is such a stress reliever. Did I mention I love sharpening my coloured pencils? Or is this just a step too far? My current colouring book, "The Mindfulness Colouring Book: Anti-stress Art Therapy for Busy People", is almost finished so I may have just bought two new ones from Amazon (don't tell O!)...I'll keep you updated! :)
