Colouring in for stress relief

Why has colouring in become so popular to cope with stress?

Colouring in intricate pictures focuses your mind away from the stresses and worries that can spin round and round endlessly in your mind.

With colouring your focus is on ‘staying inside the lines’ and creating something beautiful, so everything else melts into insignificance…..

The same thing happens when you meditate 😉

Here is a link to some free adult colouring pages to get you started

Happy colouring 🙂

Email me a photo of your finished art work.

Credit card tip…. Unknown changes

Don’t find out the hard way. When topping up your ‘betting’ account using PayPal it will be treated as a ‘cash advance’, if your PayPal account is linked to your Credit Card. This has only come into effect within the last few weeks.

You may say, that is ok, I pay my credit card closing balance, every month, before it is due.

But no… You will accrue the additional interest charge for a cash advance UNTIL the balance on your credit card is NIL – Zero. You could be paying high credit card interest on your gambling for YEARS!

How clever of the banks to exploit the unsuspecting gambling public and unfortunately the people who will be most affected by this change are those addicted to gambling.
SHAME on you, Banks!!!

Take care

Addictive behaviours

When God Paints 8

When people mention addiction, most of us automatically think of substance addictions, like drug addiction and alcoholism.

There is research done into activities or behaviours that are also considered to be addictive.  These include such things, as shopping and gambling.

The simple way to explain is, if a behaviour is impacting you or your life in a negative way and you struggle to stop the behaviour, it could be considered an addiction.

This link  explains a little about the chemical reaction in our brain that can lead to an activity or behaviour becoming addictive.  This knowledge may help us understand such things as self harm, sex addiction and shop lifting (just to mention a few).

I will continue to post some articles and links that may further explain the behavioural addictive process.
