Why it matters for teens:
Helps you manage stress and emotions
Improves focus and decision-making

Mindful colouring is a practice that combines colouring with mindfulness, focusing on the present moment while engaging in the creative process. It involves paying attention to the colours, shapes, and patterns without judgment, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. This can be a way to cultivate mindfulness and awareness. Mindful colouring encourages a shift in focus from worries and negative thoughts to the immediate activity of colouring.
Find a quiet, distraction-free place. Sit or lie down and consider setting a timer for 5 minutes.
Slowly bring attention to each part of your body, starting from your toes and moving up to your head. As you focus on each part, notice any sensations or tensions, and breathe into those areas.
