coloring

So how do I cope with stress and anxiety? What do I do to quiet my noisy, nagging brain when I just can’t take it anymore? The simple answer is it depends on the day.

The next wave of relaxation has arrived, riding a swell of paper and pencils (or markers; whatever your implement of choice). Coloring books. That just happened. These are not your child’s coloring books. The designs are intricate — like, for sure, I would not be able to stay in the lines — and often themed: owls, cats, mandalas, Zen, even Harry Potter.
