These mindful colouring sheets are a gentle, creative tool for anyone recovering from trauma, anxiety or emotional distress. Created by The Wellness Society, this free printable resource includes 23 inspirational quotes and affirmations designed to encourage healing, self-compassion, and inner strength.
Mindful colouring has been shown to reduce stress and improve focus by offering a healthy distraction from anxious thoughts. These sheets combine calming designs with powerful words that speak directly to trauma survivors, helping you pause, reflect and find comfort in the present moment.
Each page features a different quote or affirmation—ranging from reminders that “healing is not linear” to reflections from respected voices like Viktor Frankl, Maya Angelou and Carl Jung. Whether you are a therapist, social worker, teacher, parent or someone on your own healing journey, these sheets offer a simple way to practise mindfulness and emotional grounding.
