What's the Deal with Coloring?

I enjoy coloring, myself, and definitely feel connected to my inner child. 😀 In fact, I was able to relax with my essential oils diffusing, along with something warm to drink and of course my coloring book. So,have you been introduced to adult coloring books yet? They seem to be becoming more and more popular these days, so we decided to take a closer look and find out why? It turns out there are a couple of benefits.

For one, coloring can offer comfort. When you're coloring you're engaged in a structured activity that changes your focus to something more manageable, so therefore less stressful.

In addition, coloring can help when you're working on a project and need some creativity. Stopping to color helps our minds wander and offering a sort of mental pit stop and aids in upcoming challenges.

Lastly, coloring can bring up feelings of nostalgia. "The very act of creating implies that there is something inside of us that has value."

Bottom line: Go ahead and color!
