When painting mindfully, one focuses only on the moment and the impressions it leaves on them, such as the smell and feel of the paint, the color, the emotions they feel while painting, the sounds in the environment, what they are creating, their physical sensations.



"Coloring books for adults often use

"mandala" - repetitive, somewhat hypnotizing geometric shapes - to appeal to these spiritual feelings. "




These coloring activities can help to organize thoughts, to review them calmly. The principle of mindfulness can also be applied to other activities in life (walking, eating, etc.).
