Ditch the Scroll, Grab the Markers: A New Evening Ritual

“I kept saying I needed to log off. But I didn’t know what to do instead.”

Evenings used to be my worst time. I’d scroll endlessly — Instagram, TikTok, news, texts — until my eyes hurt and my brain was buzzing.

I wanted to disconnect, but sitting in silence felt... awkward. Reading was too much effort. Guided meditations just annoyed me.

Then one night I found the Be Calm and Color Coloring Book from Medeea Publishing House on my bookshelf. I opened a page. No pressure. Just… quiet.

I picked up some markers and let the shapes guide me. Ten minutes later, I noticed I wasn’t thinking about work. Or comparing myself. Or reaching for my phone.

I felt still — like something in me exhaled.

Now, this is my new evening ritual. Soft music. A candle. Markers. One page. That’s it. And it works.
