Last week I saw an advert for a magazine called Art Therapy which is a magazine that promotes creativity, positivity and relaxation and I thought this is right up my street! Art and positivity are two things that are quite close to me, so after spending the nice little starter price of €1.52 for a magazine, 6 basic coloured pencils and a pencil sharpener, I had a flick through it and saw that it's filled with pages of patterns in paisley/geometric/kaleidoscope type designs and little doodles and even colour by numbers which all promotes stress relief because you can pretty much get lost in the patterns and be so creative with them.
I always find doodling or colouring very calming and something my mind kind of wanders off to. This book isn't just, what's essentially, an adults colouring book though! Oh no, it also has a weekly section on "ten minute mindfulness" which are little relaxation and meditation exercises along with tips on colours and how they can positively influence your life (for example this week is yellow and how it's a happy positive colour) and other little tid bits. The pages are easy to rip out too if you wanted to frame them or hang them in your work space which is pretty cool.
