Coloring induces the same state as meditating by reducing stress as well as anxiety and depression. The adult colouring book craze has therapeutic mental health benefits, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety. Studies have shown that the colours can have an impact on our mood and how we perceive the world. Colour therapy can even be used to boost your confidence. We naturally associate colours with emotions: when we're sad we feel blue, when we're angry we see red, and we even feel green with envy. Adult coloring books are usually geared towards relieving stress because they have intricate designs that challenge the fine motor skills and attention span of even the most detail-oriented adults. This makes adult coloring pages a fun challenge and something you can lose yourself in. Adult coloring books online are one of the hottest new trends right now - largely because they take us back to feelings from our childhood. Those feelings bring us back to a time of peace and clarity - and make it possible for us to use this as fuel to recreate less stressful times.
