Anxieties and worries, what ways can you relax them?
Well, one way are coloring pages!
Coloring pages reduce anxiety, promote mindfulness, and are helpful to process emotions you may be struggling with. Coloring helps lower stress and anxiety levels, improve sleep, and decrease the heart rate and respiration, which creates a meditative state by relaxing the amygdala. Studies show that coloring reduces anxiety, even after just a small session of coloring.
Focusing on staying in the lines while coloring and the colors themselves sets you in the moment, focusing on the precision over stressors someone may be going through. It improves mood and can provide a sense of accomplishment, similar to nostalgia.
