ABOUT THE BOOK:
This stunning book, created for children and adults, features 49 inspirational affirmations coupled with exquisite and decorative illustrations. It's a useful tool for those who may be dealing with mental health, self esteem issues and self doubt, as there are life-changing powers and positive outcomes to come from the use of creativity and affirmations. This book can also be used for those looking for a new hobby, and to improve hand writing skills and visual motor skills in children. From a spiritual point of view, coloring and focusing on the affirmations encourages your mind to pay close attention to what is meaningful to you. While coloring, we subconsciously use the right side of our brain, which transforms our desires into reality. This book could make a great gift for the holidays or birthdays and is ideal for anyone who would like to elevate their life and cultivate a positive mindset and encourage self love.
