Mindfulness Monday (coloring)

One of the purposes of teaching mindfulness to students is to enhance focus on the here and the now. One way to to do this is through the use of coloring books. Coloring books aren't just for fun and they aren't just for kids.  I even ordered some adult coloring books as Christmas gifts for my own family members.  These coloring books are designed specifically with mindfulness in mind.  There are books with all different themes: forests, cities, oceans, mandalas, etc...  These coloring pages are designed to enhance concentration and calmness and the pictures help to bring the student to a relaxed, focused, peaceful state.  The finished result could be framed and displayed which would be great for enhancing self-esteem.
