Maybe you found an adult coloring book under your tree this year. Have you given it a shot yet? You probably should. There's a reason why the hottest gifts this year for adults were coloring books. The best part is that you don't need to recharge them, give them software updates, or feel guilty about rarely using them. They're cheap but most importantly, super effective.
At face value, these gifts don't really seem like much. Black and white outlines of figures that keep children busy at restaurants when the food is going to take a bit too long to come out. But if you're like me, you may have found yourself coloring at a restaurant before when a kids menu was accidentally left on your table. Though I couldn't finish my Picasso before the food came out, I sure never complained about the food coming out too late for my liking.
That's the magic of coloring. It takes us out our high stress lives and lets us simply relax. Meditation is a bit scary for some people. You don't need to be sitting on a yoga mat on the rooftop of a Manhattan building for you to be able to successfully meditate. That's why these coloring books are so great as gifts. It's like giving a friend an entire Art of Living course for a few bucks.
So color away. Whether you want to color inside or outside the lines is up to you. I'll support you either way.
