March: In Like a Lion…

March 1, 2016 By Lena 385 Comments

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

Welcome to March! And as I refresh The Weather Network for the umpteenth time to check when the winter storm will arrive, I can only concede that there’s some truth to the ol’ saying.

So today, instead of stressing about the inclement weather (kids have been shipped off to school), the inevitable snow shoveling (it’s a good workout after all) or the incessant storm reporting on the news (not like we live in Canada or anything), I’m going to colour.

Have you tried your hand (pun intended) at the new adult colouring trend? According to the American Art Therapy Association, art therapy is a mental health profession in which the process of making and creating artwork is used to “explore feelings, reconcile emotional conflicts, foster self-awareness, manage behavior and addictions, develop social skills, improve reality orientation, reduce anxiety and increase self-esteem.” (Source) 

Okay, so perhaps I’m not there just yet. But I do believe a very basic benefit of colouring is that it allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate anxiety and reduce stress, if only temporarily. And for me, even a short-lived break from stress is better than no break at all.

Ready to colour? Indigo, Chapters and Coles is a great first stop, boasting a wide selection of adult colouring books and art supplies. I recently purchased Magic Garden: Fantastic Flowers Coloring Book for Adults because I’m partial to doodling flowers and vines – I have old notebooks from elementary school with floral designs! I’ll be sure to post my finished artwork online once complete. (My husband bets I won’t be able to sit and colour for more than five minutes straight – we’ll see! I’m hoping to prove him wrong.)

One lucky reader will WIN a $100 Chapters Indigo Gift Card – that’s enough money to buy everything you need to get started, plus a few more goodies! Simply fill the form below with your qualifying answers. Good luck!

    I have tried, but just in cheap kids books from thrift stores, not designed for adults yet. I would love to try, as I am anxious and the only time my brain shuts off is when I am doing something I need to focus on, like yoga, and hopefully, colouring!

Recently I did purchase one of these adult colouring books because I think it’s a great avenue for personal expression, creativity and it’s a great stress reliever. Besides, it’s always nice enough to have a hobby.

It was fun to colour with my husband. I often colour with my daughters and it’s nice to colour a more involved picture so I can spend as long on a page as my kids do on their pages.

    I like adult colouring, and the fact that it is soothing and therapeutic. Love it especially when I am sick, like today.

    I haven’t coloured in a colouring book since I was a in elementary school. I picked up a free giveaway T shirt that had washable markers. It could be coloured, laundered & the colour would wash out & it could be coloured again. A senior wanted it but I had picked it up for the granddaughter of an aquaintance. ????????

    I love colouring and have a few books now. It is calming and creative, and I love how it keeps me in the moment.

    I haven’t tried it because they are expensive. Instead I buy children colouring books at the dollar store and its just not the same

    I love adult colouring. I suffer from depression and anxiety, and colouring was a tool used when I was in the hospital to help calm and centre ourselves.

    I bought one for my daughter. We did it together one day and then I got hooked on it. It helps me relax. It is now one of my “me-time” activity.

    I got an adult colouring book recently and I haven’t used it yet because I’ve been so busy getting back into my work schedule and running after my 1 yr old. However, I love art and can’t wait to use it next time he’s sleeping!
