THE HEALTHY HABIT OF COLORING FOR ADULTS

We know that coloring has always appealed to children, but now it is becoming a pleasant habit for many
adults too! In recent years, many “big kids” have bought their own crayons and coloring books and spent
their free time doing what we learned to do as little children.
Why are adults coloring now? It seems that coloring has a therapeutic effect for many. Research that
began in 2005 has shown that coloring reduces anxiety and stress. It makes people focus on putting
colors on a page and allows them to stop thinking about other issues in their lives that may cause them
tension.
The first adult coloring books were produced in 2012 and 2013 and since then, millions have been sold.
These books include very detailed designs, famous quotations, and sometimes even bad words! Adults
can even download images from the internet in black and white that they can then color. Experts suggest
that adults work with colored pencils instead of crayons in these books because colored pencils allow
them to be more precise.
So if you know an adult that needs a way to relax, suggest coloring. You will be surprised about how
effective it is at calming their nerves!
