Mindful Colouring Books

[DavidK]

what's the principles behind these mindfulness colouring books? Do they work by training your focus? How is it different to getting lost by other means like playing an instrument or even video games?

I have the Zen mandalas Colouring book. 100 pictures to paint, bought it for 9$. 

It's fun, entertaining and relaxing. All at the same time, it doesn't require any experience and looks extremely good if you invest your time a little more. After you're finished it makes you feel better, makes you kinda feel like you accomplished something. I use while watching Leo's videos, casually stopping to take notes on my computer. It helps me stay focused on what he's saying and adds a little more fun to it, I don't get bored, nor distracted at all!

Previously I colored while listening to music, it was awesome, but I found out better ways to use my time. Listening to self-improvement videos and coloring is the key!

They are kind of cheap, and if you don't really want to buy them, you can just google zen coloring pictures and print them.

I've bought a couple of colouring books with mandalas today and a set of colour pencils. Now I'm gonna colour those pictures instead of playing Rocket League, while listening to Leo, lol

Colouring whilst watching Leo, that sounds like a great idea. .. I. I do have a colouring book, was just curious what exactly the benefits were.
