Did you know adults are using coloring books to reduce stress by droves?
Busy parents and harried business people will go to great lengths to find the newest and best relaxation method, but the stress-reducer that is soaring in popularity is something that most people haven’t done since elementary school — coloring.
Producers of coloring books for adults can’t seem to print them fast enough.
How can you color if your markers are all dried out or you can’t find your crayons? Nothing worse for a kid than not being able to color the grass Jungle Green but you can only find Pine Green. OH NO!! So before you embark on enjoying National Coloring Book Day is is a great time to clean out the crayons, markers and while you are at it, let’s toss any pens that don’t work.
Toss Pens that don’t write, or are ones you will never use….
Now you are left with all the good crayons. Go make your masterpiece.
No judging here.
Have a great day!! Would you try coloring to reduce stress?
Thanks Pamela

I’ll try anything at this point to reduce stress but my biggest battle is having the time to relax and do something I enjoy.

I enjoy them in our summer. Living in Arizona summers are brutal. We stay indoors.

I have not gotten into the coloring thing yet….I do like to open a new box of Crayolas though! I have been weeding out my markers and ink pens. As I clean drawers I try them on a piece of paper and if they don’t work or only work “sort of” they are trashed! It is quite freeing to know when I grab a marker it will work!

It is quite a good feeling to know. I agree with you I do like to open a new box Crayolas. I enjoy back to school because a fresh box of crayons is always the way to start the new year.

Excellent advice, as always! I finally got rid of several shoe boxes of pens – I wasn’t using them, and this way, I only use the pens I actually like. So much better this way!
