Getaway from Waves of Thoughts

Have you gone through those days, where your mind feels heavy, so many things running in your mind,you just can't concentrate on anything although you have so many things to do..

What you usually do on those days? Keep thinking until you get back to routine? Sleep? Talk to a friend?

For me, i used to sleep for more than 16 hours(yes, that's crazy), and if i still feel heavy once up , i won't really do anything, just sit  or walk here and there and think and think and think.. 💭

One day i decided to reflect myself and it feel so bad to think about the time wasted just like that but i also don't wanna do anything that might need my 100 concentration.

When i was walking here and there, i saw my color pencils and i thought, why dont just color something. I bought a adult coloring book back in 2016 and i just colored about one half page 🙈.

That's when a decision was finally made. What to when mind feels heavy? Coloring. It doesn't require much thinking, unlike drawing, doesn't need to give the concentration. All you have to do is pick up the color pencil and color inside the lines. Simple right?

But when i read up the benefits of coloring, Wow, it's just more than filling the gap! {Googled the benefit as i write, check it out here :-

It is very important for us to feel relieved in order to move on. Everyone have their own way to get out from the situation, some might watch movie, some might just go out for a walk, window shopping.. It can be anything, but if you are feeling heavy, find a way to get yourself out of the waves of thoughts and give yourself a inner peace.

I am glad i found coloring as my way of relieve from my mind heaviness. Always remember that it only take YOU to do the best for yourself.

Attaching the coloring page i did. It was a not finished in a day, took about 11 days and of course it's not perfect, but guess what, those 11 days are the well spent time, no self indulge in overthinking , only relaxation :)
