Book excerpt: Coloring has been around for ages. Not just for children anymore, adults are now re-learning the benefits of sitting down with crayons or markers and spending quiet time coloring. As relaxing as it can be physically, it doesn't always relax the mind, because as adults we have learned to replay our thoughts on a continuous loop. This coloring book journal was made to help you get out of your own head when you sit down to color. Included with the pages to color are suggestions that can help re-channel your thoughts to maximize the mental benefits of coloring.
