Wherever you’re off to, take New York Street Style with you.
Frank Sinatra loved being a part of it; New York, New York. And on those (rare…haha) days when we can’t jet set off to NYC, here is something to transport you to New York, while also bringing you a meditative calm.
A Meditation Trend you NEVER Saw Coming…
- Namaste: Not a fan of yoga? No problem. Plan B: find another way to find meditation. Why? It’s a way of relaxation. Everyone needs a calming tool.Not everyone needs yoga… so find your match…which might be as simple as an adult coloring book – another form of meditation.
- No Negativity: Coloring is THAT type of focus that gives you time to re-focus from anything icky (aka anxiety, thoughts, decisions) in a positive way.
- Bring the Brain Balance: Adult coloring books are a workout for both parts of our brains! Yep, both the right and left hemispheres are doing their cardio while coloring. From what marker colors we will use or if we will switch between markers and crayons – its a bunch of problem solving, fine motor skills and creativity.
- Mark It Up: Know how much you debate about what COLOR of marker/crayon/colored pencil you’ll use for part of your drawing? That type of focus brings back focus and concentration. Instantly reduces the bad focus from your stressful-ness – and that’s a good thing.
- Simple Science: Science says that when you focus on a “simple” activity (adult coloring books), your brain relaxes, focuses, and is more mindful on other things. Win-Win: you aren’t the focus of your own thoughts, so you can make more balanced and mindful decisions.
Tranquility through outfits, accessories, and hairstyles! Color in the iconic NYC skylines and memorable street scenes. Window shop the elegant stores of New York while you make your way through an iconic city… all while finding some balance.
Grab your markers or colored pencils to be on your way to a perfect New York day!
I received this book to review from Blogging for Books in exchange for this post, but all opinions are my own.
Having vacationed to NYC for the first time this summer, I’m loving this coloring book to help keep the memories alive! And it amazes me what coloring can do for your brain and anxiety levels.
I love NYC especially the fashion and this is definitely the perfect book to remind you of how awesome it is! Coloring is such a stress reliever!
My sister in law got me a n adult coloring book for Christmas. It was filled with curse words LOL. I need to bust that baby out again soon!
Haha! That sounds like a lot of fun! It’s awesome how much coloring books help us de-stress!
I never thought about an adult coloring book. It really looks like a lot of fun and I am from NY. It does look very relaxing and brings out creativity.
I never expected it to be so relaxing! It’s really awesome that they picked NY as the theme, I just love it out there!
I love coloring. It is so relaxing and it is something i like doing with my daughter. She has her books and I have mine !
Right? It’s just really fun! I love that you color with your daughter, that’s a nice way to spend some time together!
Adult coloring books are great for relieving stress. Just sit in a quiet space and color and let your mind relax. Allows us to enjoy the small things.
Totally agree with you! It’s perfect to do during your down time. Simple, but relaxing!
I have an adult coloring book and I enjoy it! Allows me to relax when I’m having some ME time. Helps to clear my mind because it’s always so busy and running constantly. Plus coloring is fun!
Exactly! That’s how I feel when I color as well! It’s such a nice hobby!
My daughter flys constantly for her job and she likes to use the adult coloring books on the plane. I will for sure get this one for her!
It’s really awesome as a past time! I just love how relaxing and fun it is! I’m sure she’ll appreciate this one!
I have a colour book my dad bought me a few years ago that I maybe sat down with once, but it really was relaxing! This book looks like a lot of fun and a good way just to zone out
It’s really awesome to have especially when you’re a little too stressed out with work. I hope you check this one out, it’s lovely!
That’s really lovely. My therapist did recommend going in to arts and crafts and this is perfect for that! I like that it’s all about NYC’s fashion too! I miss that city so much!
It’s definitely perfect and I’m sure you’ll have a lot of fun coloring this! I love the theme! NYC is definitely one of my favorite cities!
Oh this is adorable! I love coloring books. This would be a great gift for my sister in law who is a fashion editor in NYC.
It totally is! It’s worth getting and it’s definitely a nice gift for people who love to color as a hobby!
This is such a fun adult coloring book. This is one I would actually enjoy coloring in!
I’m sure you’re going to enjoy coloring this! I really love the theme!
I understand why people like coloring and really appreciate how any different adult coloring books are out there. If I were more into such things I would love the complex designs.
It’s such a nice coloring book and I love how relaxing it is! It’s also a nice gift for family or friends!
I love this coloring book, for kids and adults alike! While all of the other little girls were playing “house,” I was playing “penthouse in New York!”
AH, yes! New York is such a dream and it’s awesome to have a coloring book with a theme inspired by the lovely city!
Colouring is something I go to once I need to work out a problem. Its such a simple task that goes so underrated in ways to calm and soothe.
Right? That’s exactly my opinion on it! I just love how it relaxes my mind and calms me down!
I never really thought too much about why “adult” colouring books work… but they really do! I find it especially meditative when I listen to calming instrumental music along with the activity as well. The re-focusing aspect of colouring is making sense to me now.
That’s the best way to get rid of stress and just relax. It’s simple but surprisingly relaxing!
This looks like so much fun! My youngest daughter is obsessed with everything New York and she would really enjoy this book too.
This is perfect for her! She gets to enjoy NY fashion and relax while doing it as well!
I LOVE coloring books for adults! I just wish my kids let me be alone long enough to enjoy it more.
I love them too! Especially this one! Aww, momma needs some alone time too or you can ask them to color with you!
I love that they have coloring books for adults now. This looks like a good one! I’m gonna check it out – would be great for Christmas gifts too!
It’s such an awesome concept, coloring books for adults! This is definitely a good choice! I just love it.
I find creating to be the best form of mediation for me. It allows me to focus so completely that I can tuned out other distractions and give my mind a rest.
It’s really awesome to just enjoy arts and crafts. I hope you check this one out, it’s really fun and relaxing!
I am kind of a coloring book hoarder. I can’t help myself! A fun way to relax and play with colored pencils and markers.
