I Am A Chronic Illness Crusader

I Am A Chronic Illness Crusader Coloring Book offers support, empathy and creative therapy for those experiencing the pain and discomfort associated with chronic illnesses of every stripe and color. The book features single-sided coloring pages with motivational, encouraging and empowering sayings and affirmations specifically for those facing the daily challenges of chronic illness. Coloring is a highly creative and meditative activity that can have powerful therapeutic anti-stress and relaxation benefits. It activates the brain's right hemisphere, reducing stress, and promoting a relaxed, meditative state by focusing the brain on the "here and now"- the feelings of positivity and calm that we experience when we color! This book combines these benefits of coloring with the specifically chosen sayings of empowerment and encouragement for chronic illness crusaders!
