It has been shown that adult colouring has become a therapeutic coping mechanism.
There are some benefits to mental health when it comes to colouring, such as:
- Relieving stress and anxiety
- Focusing on the present helps you achieve positivity
- A source of creative meditation
- Negative thoughts are expelled as you take in positivity
- Unplugging from technology promotes creation over consumption
- Encouraging yourself to be present
- An easy way to relax and have some simple fun
Colourful imagery is simply appealing to look at. How do you feel when you see brightly-coloured photographs such as these?
It has been found that colouring a reasonably complex geometric pattern may induce a meditative state that benefits individuals suffering from anxiety.
“Colouring the symmetrical form of the mandala with its repeating patterns and complexity purportedly helps to draw individuals into a state similar to meditation.”
Indulge yourself in such simple fun from time to time!
