If the idea of spending a day with cheek-pinching family members holds no joy for you. For some it I can be stressful. What about some coloring fun for Thanksgiving. Here is a gift you can print out a bunch the images below, pack some crayons and unleash an after-dinner art project on the group? Or just slip off and let your mind relax and create something colorful and soothing.
Instead of drunken arguments over politics, climate change, the economy, and the millions of other talking points there are to fight about, why pull together, sit down, and color. Think of it as art therapy.
And if you want to indulge in a little cannabis before your after-dinner coloring initiative, know that these The Fresh Toast-original designs put the “tryp” in tryptophan! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Coloring is a healthy way to relieve stress. It calms the brain and helps your body relax. This can improve sleep and fatigue while decreasing body aches, heart rate, respiration, and feelings of depression and anxiety.
Although coloring isn’t the ultimate cure for stress and anxiety, sitting down for a long coloring session holds great value. As you color, pay attention to your breathing rhythm, ensuring steady, full breaths from your diaphragm, and tune into your heart rate periodically if you can.
