Something which I like to do as a distration when I feel triggered or when I am stressed out is to colour mandalas. They are nicer to colour by hand, but today my printer wasn't working so I used good old paint to do this one (below) ...it took ages (zooming in and colouring pixel by pixel) and I was feeling in a much safer space when I finially finished~!

Colouring mandalas is great

I have a bunch of velvet boards with lions on them that I colour (you colour in the white parts, not the black velvet parts) when I get bored or urgy.

I've made lions some VERY INTERESTING colours (who's ever heard of a turquoise lion?!)

I like mandalas too.

I colored them a lot while I was in clinic, because there was a huge selection of different mandalas.

I am OBSESSED with mandalas. I was so excited to see this thread. Yours is beautiful, Roxi.

Yeah Roxi, those!

I never use the markers that come with them though because I have a shiny and good set of my own

I love to color Manadala,if I spell that right. It helps me to relax and to keep myself from thinking about what is bothering me. I love them!!

I tried yesterday, but it took me ages, and since I'm not very patient...

I colored it on the computer...didn't do the outline if that's what you mean though - just got a template from a website. It took me about half an hour; I am not very patient either, but when I am stressed I need something to focus all my enegry on

.didn't do the outline if that's what you mean though

yes, I know.

Haha I saw Tibetan monks make one in person, with the sand and everything! It was so cool. I even have a little vial of the sand they used
