Caring for everyone else doesn’t mean you have to forget yourself.
If you're a woman in the sandwich generation—juggling the needs of aging parents and adult children—you’re likely no stranger to burnout. The constant to-do list. The late-night mental load. That ache in your shoulders that never really goes away.
You know you need a break. But what kind of break actually fits into your life?
Here's one that does: Tracing.
Yes—tracing. With the LightGuide Artboard™, even a short, quiet moment can become a mini-retreat.
✨ Why Tracing Works (When Other Solutions Didn’t)
You’ve probably tried knitting, journaling, or even those mindfulness apps. They’re lovely in theory, but in reality?
- You’re interrupted mid-row.
- Your journal gathers dust.
-
The meditation app just makes you fall asleep.
The LightGuide Artboard™ changes the game. It gives you a creative, calming outlet that feels effortless, even when your mind is tired and your day has been full.
No experience needed. No mess. No complicated tools.
Just plug in, trace, breathe—and let the stress melt away.
🛏️ Make It a Nightly Ritual (That Actually Sticks)
Many women like you use the Artboard for just 10–15 minutes before bed. It’s your transition zone—a way to let go of the day before your head hits the pillow.
Here’s how to start your new wind-down ritual:
- Dim the lights and set the mood.
- Choose a tracing template that fits your mood (mandala, affirmation, landscape).
- Breathe. Trace. Let your hands move and your mind quiet down.
- Optional: Use one of the 25+ stress-relief card prompts included with every order to guide your moment of calm.
Bonus: This becomes a habit. Something you look forward to. Something you deserve.
🎨 Templates That Soothe
We’ve designed tracing templates just for women like you:
- 🌿 Peaceful Landscapes – gently flowing scenes to ground you.

You can use them on a short mid-day break or as a full bedtime ritual. The LED glow is soft and bright, letting you see every detail—no more squinting.
🧘 Why It Helps You Sleep Better
Creating art before bed isn’t just relaxing—it’s scientifically supported as a way to improve sleep quality, especially for women managing high stress and caregiving responsibilities.
A 2022 survey by Verywell Mind revealed that 65% of women aged 40 and above who engaged in mindful drawing or coloring reported improved sleep quality within two weeks. This underscores the effectiveness of incorporating creative practices into bedtime routines to enhance sleep (Verywell Mind).
Unlike stimulating screen time or draining multitasking, this kind of focused, tactile creativity sends a signal to your nervous system: “You’re safe now. You can rest.”
Stephanie McLeod-Estevez, a licensed psychotherapist, highlights that therapeutic art journaling allows individuals to unwind from daily stressors, leading to greater relaxation and improved sleep (Your Zen Mama).
Furthermore, the blog Radiance and Grit shares personal experiences where incorporating art into bedtime routines has helped individuals fall asleep more quickly, even after stressful days (Radiance and Grit).
By engaging in simple, creative activities like tracing, you can signal to your nervous system that it's time to relax, making it easier to transition into restful sleep.
