Benefits of Adult Coloring Books?
It might seem crazy that something as simple as a coloring book could actually be beneficial, but research continually supports this idea. In fact, researchers have known for over 100 years the benefits of coloring on the adult brain and famous psychiatrists throughout history (including Carl Jung) have recommended it to their patients.
Stress Relief
Coloring has been shown to have stress-reducing benefits. The reason? Coloring is said to calm the amygdala, the part of the brain related to the fear/stress response while stimulating the parts of the brain responsible for creativity and logic. A 2005 study documented a reduction in anxiety in subjects after a short time of coloring geometric patterns.
In fact, coloring therapy is being used experimentally for those with anxiety and stress related disorders. Some people report sleeping better when coloring for even 5 minutes before bedtime. Focus and Creativity
There's a reason that adult coloring books are becoming a favorite among high-profile business professionals in high-stress industries and creative professionals. There is evidence that even a short coloring session can help improve focus and spur creativity. Some offices are even making time for group coloring sessions for employees as a way to improve group focus and creativity during big projects.
While we may think of group coloring time as an activity for pre-schoolers, high-profile executives are joining the trend Social Time
Group coloring time is becoming an increasingly popular activity in many places as clubs and social groups pop up to facilitate it. Even in my own small town, the library is hosting adult coloring sessions and I've seen several Mom's Night Outs that advertise "Coloring and Wine" (count me in ).
While coloring does take focus and promotes relaxation, it isn't such a difficult activity that it can't be done while talking or spending time with others, making it an increasingly popular group activity. If you have kids, this is a fun activity that you can do with them Alternative to Meditation
The psychological benefits of prayer and meditation have been well studied, but many people find it difficult to "turn-off" and calm the mind. Coloring and other hands-on activities offer an alternative because they allow you to "do" something without the need for active concentration. In studies, activities like coloring are able to produce a similar effect to meditation in the brain.
