Roz Purcell has turned to colouring to help her relax.
The former Miss Universe Ireland is a self-confessed “phone addict” who finds it difficult to relax and is trying out the children’s pastime to help her relax.
“I had practised other forms of mindfulness from daily gratitude, meditation and body scans before. All great forms to practice if applied properly but they never really worked for me,” she said.

“As a bit of a confessed phone addict, hypochondriac and stressor I never have had the ability to switch off. I have never been able to allocate work times,” she wrote on boyfriend Bressie’s blog My 1000 Hours.
However, Roz was informed by a friend of the benefits of colouring and was immediately sold when she tried it out.
“I was aware of the latest trend but after hearing such a positive review from someone I knew, I was sold,” she explained.

“That very day, I picked one up one, actually I picked up three, as I’m really indecisive! I thought I was never going to have the time to colour as I had too much to do to waste time doodling.
“How wrong I was. After I finish a little colouring whether its 15 minutes or an hour, every issue I have a big or small, is forgotten. All that I am focused on is what colour I will use next.
“Everything else disappears,” she explained.
