Hi everyone. I’ve been cleaning up and sorting out and I found a colouring book, an adult colouring book. And I thought I should just talk to you a little bit about it. I wonder if some of you used to participate in the adult colouring book field or if some of you still do?
Colouring is art therapy!!
I think it’s awesome! I think it’s a very accessible art activity. I think it’s very (I’ll show you my beautiful artwork) very doable for anybody. You don’t need a lot of supplies or money. You don’t need a lot of time or space. And if it’s something that you enjoy – if it’s something relaxing and enjoyable for you, then you should do it!
It takes us back to simpler days
One of the things I like about it is that it takes you back to your childhood days, when you were young and you had potentially/ probably fewer worries and concerns, and it’s easy for us to kind of connect back to those days when we’re doing something that we used to do back in those times. And although it’s not something that’s my favourite thing to do, I do definitely enjoy it at times. And I just want to say I love that it became a thing at all, and that it became okay. You know, before that colouring was something that kids do. And then I love whoever – I’m sorry that I don’t even know who to acknowledge – whoever started the whole adult colouring thing. But I’m so glad that they did and if you are a colourer, if you’re a closet colourer – do it! be brave, be bold, be out there!
It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks
Enjoy it! Make the most of it! If it does good for you, who cares what anyone else thinks? And if you are someone who wishes that you did it more – try find some more time to do it. It is a soothing, relaxing, calming activity and if you like it, you should do it. that’s it – that’s all I’ve got to say. Adult coloring – yes! Has the big tick from Dione.
