Sabbatical Saturdays #4: Mindful Coloring – Finding Peace in the Details

Coloring isn’t just for kids! Mindful coloring is a therapeutic exercise that encourages focus and concentration while providing a creative outlet for self-expression. By engaging with intricate patterns and designs, you can enter a state of mindfulness, where your worries melt away, and you’re absorbed in the present moment. This activity helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm.

Tip: Choose designs that are complex enough to keep your attention but not so intricate that they become frustrating. Let go of any need for perfection—just focus on enjoying the process.
