Mindfulness Daily Check-In September 9, 2017
Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well today :)
For today's check in I'd like to talk about mindfulness colouring. This activity is really helpful as the action requires the mind to focus on the present moment, encouraging mindfulness. It can provide a distraction to stress and make you feel much calmer, simply by quietly concentrating on colouring. Not only can it promote mindfulness, but it also utilises parts of the brain that enhance focus and concentration. It can also help with problem solving and organisation skills as well!
Have any of you ever tried mindfulness colouring before? How did it make you feel? If you haven't tried it, would it be something you might be interested in?
Thanks for checking in today, have a great weekend! <3

@peppermintlove woaa all elephants just remind me of Rumple hehe :D I've tried this before and it's somehow helped me to relax and absorbed to what i'm doing. I feel calm and happy when I try to pick which color is matched and expand my imagination about how the picture will be turned out. There are many coloring books outside there but I tried with some Apps also on my phone and it's worths to try especially when I get bored and wanna enjoy myself alone. I sometimes do this while listening music also. And this activity helped me with my anxiety as well.
@InvisibleAngel92 - it made me think of @rumplesteeleskin too :) <3
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn high five! See I guess we have rumple fever. I really think all of the elephants are rumple hehe
@peppermintlove
Hiya Peppermint wonderful wonderful daily check-in
And look- the coloring is of ME
Yes I have done the coloring, but I sometimes find ones like this kinda hard to focus and color as the parts are a bit small. But I do love taking my kids coloring books and coloring like I was a kid
@RumpleSteeleSkin
Haha yes Rumple it's you!! And I agree with you, kids colouring books are great as they are easier and it's fun to do them :) <3
@peppermintlove
My favorite coloring books are winnie the pooh, mickey mouse and unicorns
@RumpleSteeleSkin
winnie the pooh is the best and my favourite!! :D
I have tried it and have a few coloring books, but sometimes I am too anxious to sit in one place and color.
@Itsybitsyspider91
I get what you mean. Sometimes it can be nice when you feel bored or have nothing to do, and colouring is a great way to practise mindfulness :) <3
@peppermintlove coloring sounds like a great way to stay connected to the present moment.
@soulsings
I totally agree with that! It's also very fun :) <3
