Coloring used to be just for kids, but now adults are also taking delight in the activity, finding it a calming escape in a hectic day. What is it that makes coloring so relaxing?

One 2005 study found that coloring mandalas, or intricate circular designs from Buddhist and Hindu traditions, could reduce anxiety. Other coloring book enthusiasts remark on how the activity inspires focus and silence, much like meditation.

Another theory is that it brings adults back to the simplicity of childhood – a period of their lives with fewer worries. Whatever the reason, coloring has surely become one way to temporarily relieve daily tensions. For supplements to support a stress-free life, be sure to visit our site.
