Do you like to color?
Does anyone like to color when they are feeling stressed? When the adult coloring books first came out, I bought a whole bunch (at that time, I worked at a place where I get employee discount with purchases). Now I have a good collection of them sitting on my cupboard, some I've started coloring with, others, I've just left it. Instead, I downloaded a coloring app on my phone, which I color everyday. I know it's different than having real color pencil in hand and filling in the lines of a picture, but it still somehow gives me a sense of satisfaction from every picture I choose to color (fill-in-the-space).
I read an article recently, saying that coloring is good for our health. It helps us practice mindfulness and relieves stress. Below is the article, if anyone is interested in reading it:
For anyone who is interested in Interior Design and coloring, I recommend a book, titled "Farmhouse Styles: Interior Design Coloring Book Adults Relaxation and Stress Relief" by "Stella Rose".
What do you like to color? Patterns? Animals? Landscape scenes? Mandalas? Flowers? Birds? Buildings?.. etc.

well, I enjoy it at the start but then I get frustrated because I wanted to make everything nice and perfect but failed, I tried not to think too much about perfection but I just can't. Every time I tries to color just ends up with me being mad.
I know how that feels. I'm also a perfectionist when it comes to doing my work. When I colored, I usually end up choosing my favorite colors, then try my best to color within the lines. As for whether it looks good at the end, or whether or not the colors matched, I try to think that because it's all about creativity. So, it's okay if the colors don't match entirely, try and think of it as abstract art. I believe that coloring is suppose to help relieve stress, and working our creative minds do have benefits to our physical and biological bodies.
As I read in an article: "We don't need to be good at art to have it value us, a study shows that 45 minutes of any kind of art, can lower the stress hormone cortisol by as much as 25%."
