I am the "stare at the fish tank" kind of person. While I do not own one I sit in front of one whenever possible. Great stress relievers. They are in a lot of hospitals. Adult coloring books have no appeal for me. Lol.

I LOVE my adult colouring books. My brother bought me one a couple of years ago...it was Mandalas and other symbols...because he knows how impatient I am and that the one thing I hate most in the world is waiting. Growing up with me he knew I could use it to de-stress during these situations and now I rely on them.

I have a whole selection, got some new ones at Xmas, and also bought one for my SIL and she loves it too. I always have one in the car. If the van breaks down and I have to wait....I colour. If I'm in the doctor's office and it's going to be a while, I pull out my book and colour. If I'm anxious about something or waiting for an important phone call...I colour. I find it therapeutic in the same way that I find yoga and meditation relaxing. They're all ways to reduce tension and just do something mindless but kind of fun.

I also love to colour with the kids. They'll get my special colouring books along with their own and we all get to work. It's fun. Give it a try!

Ah people who weren't under a rock! Yay ! So, Shiny I imagine it would be like carrying a book, or my ex step sister knits and she always carries a knitting project wherever she goes. I see all of these as de-stressors in waiting situations which makes sense-refocuses the "energy" so the coloring makes sense. I saw the Mandela designs and quite honestly, I am the type to create those vs color them, which also de-stresses LOL
Color on !!!
