Coloring isn’t just for kids. It relaxes the fear
center of your brain, the amygdala, and
induces the same state as meditating by
reducing the thoughts of a restless mind.
This generates mindfulness and quietness,
which allows your mind to get some rest
after a long day at work.
The adult coloring book trend has spread
nationwide, with some books popping up on
bestseller lists. With the countless health
benefits of coloring for adults, it might be
time to pull out the crayons, colored pencils
and markers!
In addition to reducing stress and anxiety,
Beaumont Health cites the following
benefits of coloring:
Improved motor skills and vision
Coloring goes beyond being a fun activity
for relaxation. It requires the two
hemispheres of the brain to communicate.
While logic helps us stay inside the lines,
choosing colors generates a creative
thought process.
