La La Land Mommy: Art Therapy Magazine Review
There are a hundred ways to relax after a long day. Some people take a bath, listen to music, have a drink, watch TV, or even read a book. No matter what there is always some way adults in particular like to unwind. I myself like to take a nap or read a book. One way I haven’t thought about since I was a kid is pulling out a coloring book and coloring. Well I haven’t thought of coloring until recently.
I was sent two copies of the magazine Art Therapy to review. It came with color pencils and markers. The purpose of these magazines are to spark your creativity, put your mind in a positive way of thinking, and to help you relax. Each magazine includes relaxation tips and also tips for creative coloring techniques. You get six designs to color.

When I received my copies I was really intrigued just looking at the cover. Then I started reading the magazine and following the relaxation tips. One tip was to meditate before you started coloring. Just empty your mind of everything that worries you like bills and whatever negative things happened through out your day. Once you have done that put all your focus on coloring a beautiful work of art. I tried this one day when I was having a really overwhelming and tough day. I meditated and just let everything go. Then I just started coloring. I didn’t think about anything that I had going on. I just focused on creating this pretty picture. About five minutes in I forgot about what was bothering me. By the time the picture was done I felt completely calm and relaxed. I just enjoyed coloring. Once I was done I was calm enough to look at whatever problems I had in a calmer way and then enjoy the rest of my day. I wound up with a very pretty picture.

Art Therapy Magazine would be a great gift this Christmas season for anyone who is looking for a way to simply relax. Coloring isn’t just for kids anymore. You can even use this to color with your kids. I really enjoyed getting back in touch with my childhood. I will definitely be coloring more often. I can’t believe that it took me this long to remember how much I enjoyed it. So if you are looking for a great gift idea I definitely recommend giving this a try.
