Coloring

People are visual and hands-on learners.
~Wolfgang Puck


Today for Wellness Wednesday, I'm going to make an unexpected suggestion. If there's something you've been wanting to learn, consider coloring pages.

One of my goals is to learn more about plant identification. I wanted a plant ID quiz app, something like Duolingo, but it doesn't exist. Well, you can make your own if you upload your own quizzes, but that doesn't hold a lot of appeal for me at the moment.

A few days ago I remembered that I'd downloaded a medicinal plants coloring book a while back so I printed it and have been using it. Wow, so helpful! I use photos to make sure I get the colors right. Coloring pages would also work well if you wanted to learn geography or anatomy. Basically, if there's something that requires some visual memorization, you might want to color it.


Why is this a Wellness Wednesday post? Learning is food for the spirit, and so is succeeding at a goal (not to mention coloring!).
