Color. Breathe.

Coloring pages can be a soothing form of meditation, allowing you to step away from the stress of daily life and focus on the simple joy of creating. As you fill each section with color, your mind becomes calm, and the world around you fades away, leaving only the present moment. This practice helps you live in the now, offering a peaceful break where you can breathe, relax, and reconnect with yourself.

Find a Quiet Space: Choose a calm, comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed. Settle in with your favorite coloring page and a selection of coloring tools—pencils, markers, or crayons.

Set an Intention: Before you begin, take a deep breath and set a simple intention for your coloring session, like finding peace, releasing stress, or simply enjoying the process.

Focus on the Present Moment: As you start coloring, let go of any worries or distractions. Focus on the texture of the paper, the way the colors blend, and the gentle motion of your hand.

Breathe with the Rhythm: Sync your breathing with your coloring. Inhale as you pick a color, exhale as you fill in a section. Let your breath guide you, creating a steady, calming rhythm.

Observe Without Judgment: As you color, notice the shapes and patterns appearing on the page. Embrace any imperfections and allow the process to be fluid and intuitive. This is your time to create without rules or expectations.

Take Breaks to Reflect: Pause occasionally to admire your work, taking in the colors and how they make you feel. Reflect on the thoughts or emotions that arise, acknowledging them and letting them pass.

Close with Gratitude: When you’re ready to finish, take a moment to appreciate the time you spent coloring. Feel gratitude for the relaxation and mindfulness you’ve cultivated, and carry that calmness with you as you return to your day.
