Coloring is one of my favorite pastime self-care activities! It has become a recent hobby of mine that also allows me to tap into my inner-child. At first, I felt guilty for coloring as I felt that it was a waste of time. However, I have since learned the importance of implementing self-care into my life. Taking time out of your day to simply rest or relax should never be considered a waste of time.
Sometimes, self-care doesn’t require words, talking, or spending time with anyone else. Just yourself is enough! It’s one of the ways where I can just turn my brain off and happily just focus on coloring within the lines. All my stress and worries vanish as my main priority becomes choosing which shade of blue to pick for the sky. There are many different forms of self-care, but finding a creative art outlet is beneficial in allowing one to indulge in self-expression.
