Life is stressful, right? Whether it's juggling work, school, or just the general chaos of everyday life, it can be hard to find a moment to breathe. That’s where colour therapy comes in—one of my favourite ways to unwind. I’ve found that colouring or doodling helps me relax, especially after a long, hectic day.
What is Color Therapy?
At its core, colour therapy is a form of art therapy. The idea is simple: certain colours can evoke certain emotions, and engaging with them mindfully can help reduce stress. I’ve found that sitting down with a set of vibrant pens and colouring for just a few minutes can shift my mood completely. It’s not about creating a masterpiece—it’s about losing yourself in the process, letting your mind rest while your hands get creative.
Pentel Products That Make a Difference
I’ve tried a lot of pens over the years, but Pentel’s range really stands out when it comes to colour therapy. Here are some of my go-to favourites:
- Pentel EnerGel Pens: These pens offer a smooth, fluid writing experience, and they come in a range of beautiful colours. Sometimes, I’ll just doodle with them or use them to colour in my planner. The colours are vibrant, but the ink is quick-drying, so there’s no worry about smudges. It’s a small joy, but it’s one that makes colouring so much more satisfying.
- Pentel Hybrid Dual Metallic Pens: If you’re looking for something a little more fun, these pens are magic. The ink actually shifts colour depending on the angle, adding a playful sparkle to whatever you’re working on. I love using these to add accents to my drawings or notes. Every time I see that shimmer, it brings a little joy into my day.
- Pentel Pastel Pens: On days when I’m feeling like I need a gentler touch, these pens are perfect. The soft, soothing colours are perfect for filling in floral designs or just scribbling away the stress.
For me, colouring with Pentel pens has become a go-to way to relax. It’s a small but meaningful way to practise mindfulness and creativity at the same time. So next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, grab some Pentel pens, find a blank sheet, and let yourself colour your way to calm.
