Coloring Page: “It’s OK to Have Unproductive Days”
Embracing the Quiet Moments
In a world that glorifies busyness and constant productivity, it’s easy to feel guilty during those rare moments of stillness. Yet, it’s these unproductive days that often hold the most potential for personal growth and reflection. I’m excited to share with you a new creation that perfectly captures this sentiment: a simple, yet deeply meaningful coloring page featuring a single chrysanthemum flower beginning to bloom. Accompanying this delicate image is a gentle reminder: “It’s OK to Have Unproductive Days.”
Finding Peace in Unproductivity
Our culture often equates value with productivity, leaving little room for rest and reflection. However, this coloring page from the journal, “Moonlit Meadow” for 2024-2025, invites us to reconsider this notion. Just as the chrysanthemum takes its time to bloom, we too need moments to pause, breathe, and rejuvenate. This specific page is designed to offer a mindful creative moment, encouraging us to embrace our unproductive days as essential parts of our journey.

Coloring is not merely a pastime for children; it’s a powerful tool for adults to reduce stress and anxiety.
