8 REASONS WHY ADULT COLORING IS BENEFICIAL

1. It allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment,
reducing anxiety
2. It lowers the amount of activity in a part of our brain called the amygdala, which is
responsible for stress and fear, helping us to de-stress
3. It’s a good “mind exercise” because it uses both sides of our brain and mixes the logic-
based part of our brain with the creative part of it
4. We experience the same benefits from meditation of inner calm and self-realization when
we color
5. It doesn’t have a time limit so we can each go at our own pace
6. It helps strengthen your fine motor skills
7. It allows us to be mindful, which means being aware of and attending to the present
moment
8. Anyone can do it—you don’t have to be an artist to color
