Making Friends with Anxiety: A Calming Colouring Book

4.7/5 ( ratings)

From the author of the bestselling novel, One Moment, One Morning, and illustrator Jules Miller comes a beautiful adult colouring book packed with tips and insights to encourage mindfulness and help ease worry and panic.
Alongside a series of beautifully-crafted pictures, Sarah Rayner explains with warmth and humour how to ‘make friends with anxiety’ and thereby manage stress. She shows why some of us are prone to anxiety and why colouring, in particular, can be so therapeutic. She then explores other creative activities that can have a similar effect on the psyche, providing readers with a wide array of solutions that encourage mindfulness and help reduce worry.

This text is offset by Jules Miller's detailed illustrations designed to maximize the pleasure of zoning out from day-to-day stress and becoming totally absorbed in colouring. There are abstract patterns and cheery animals, gorgeous flowers and quirky landscapes, and each picture also incorporates a ‘mantra’ – a few simple words to reflect upon and help boost your mood whenever you look at it.

The result is a book to treasure – a unique combination of wit and wisdom that can help boost mood and encourage positivity long after the colouring-in is done.
