It’s impossible to stay ‘on’ all the time. Just as a car engine overheats if you continue to rev it, keeping your mind in high gear puts it under a level of pressure it can’t sustain. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or agitated, and unable to think clearly, take your foot of the pedal, and clear your mind with The Mindfulness Colouring and Activity Book, from Gill Hasson, the author of the best-selling book Mindfulness.

This portable book contains colouring, games, and activities all designed to give you a break from your everyday concerns, switch off your mind, wind down and relax. They give your mind something specific to focus on, allowing thoughts to flow easily but without any complex thinking or planning. Each activity provides a balance between challenge and skill. The level of engagement keeps your attention so focused that you become fully absorbed in the moment, preventing stressful thoughts from entering your head.

The Mindfulness Colouring and Activity Book includes:

• Colouring • Zentangles• Optical illusion

activities• Origami

• Mazes• Word Puzzles• Doodling activities• Drawing games• Observation games

Colour and Doodle Your Stress Away
