You have been told to relax. You have been told to breathe. Neither of those has ever once worked on a Tuesday at 9pm.So here is the other approach. Sit down. Pick up a pencil. Give your hands something small and detailed to do, and let your head go quiet on its own.Calm Your Sh*t is a coloring book for adults who are overstimulated, over-scheduled and thoroughly done being talked at. Sixty-two full-page illustrations, printed large, printed on one side only, waiting for whatever pens you have in the drawer. No instructions. No skill level. No app, no timer, no notification, no one asking you a follow-up question.It is stress relief that does not require you to be good at meditating. Wired, anxious, overstimulated - the slow repetitive work of filling in small shapes is the entire point. Mindfulness, with a sense of humor about itself.Color a page after work. Color one instead of scrolling. Color three because you are avoiding your inbox, which is a perfectly good reason.Inside the book62 full-page illustrations - flower gardens and mandalas, big sweary lettering, and deadpan still lifes: a jar of Preserved Composure, a trophy for World's Okayest Effort, an Emergency Patience ReserveSingle-sided printing - every illustration is backed by a shaded page, so markers can bleed and the art behind survivesGenerous 8.5" x 11" pages - room for a real pencil grip, not a cramped oneA genuine range of detail - fine linework for a long sit, open shapes for five spare minutesBeginner friendly - there is no wrong way to do this and nobody is grading youA good gift for someone running on fumesThe friend who keeps saying she is fine. The teacher in week nine. The nurse coming off nights. The parent who has not finished a sentence since Tuesday. It is funnier than a candle and it lasts longer than flowers.Go be quiet for twenty minutes. You have more than earned it.Calm Your Sh*t is Book 1 of The Sweary Collection by Maggie Stone - coloring books for adults who need a damn moment. Read more
