Mindfulness

One of the reasons we are so stressed all the time is because of our focus on future and past events. We rarely sit down and just focus on the now. Coloring can help you practice mindfulness. Life isn’t as bad as it seems. You can relax with a coloring book and just focus on how good you feel right now. Yeah, I make coloring books, And yes. I am doing a little advertising by using MY covers Lol!

Meditation

Many people don’t meditate. Mediation can reduce our overall stress levels It can help us focus on the now, And promote a healthy lifestyle. It improves concentration, It even slows aging. We always claim that we don’t “have time” or that mediation isn’t worth doing because it’s too simple, It can’t possibly have such a big impact. But in reality we could spend a little more time meditating. The coloring is a healthier alternative to meditation. Plus you get a physical product when finished.

We feel less lazy

Lets face it, We are addicted to multi-tasking. Maybe you’ll curl up, watch Netflix while coloring, Or you’ll color while listening to podcasts or music. For many people, it’s hard to do one thing at a time because we are so used to doing multiple things at a time.

You can feel accomplished

When you finish a coloring page that you worked so hard on, It’s hard not to feel accomplished. You created you very own work of art! Many people who don’t have skills with painting and drawing, Don’t get that same satisfaction that other artists do. Coloring gives you the opportunity to feel good about what you have done.

It gives us a chance to socialize:

The internet, and our ability to reach anyone we want in the world pretty easily, has made us less social. We don’t go out as often as we used to, and we don’t communicate in person very often. We have become isolated and alone. In a world where their communication can be so easy. Coloring gives you the chance to make friends and be around people. You can color with others, many colorists have coloring parties, and get together, where they can creatively express themselves. You can color in different books, The same books, Or even trade books! It also gives colorists an opportunity to see a wider range of the wide selection of coloring books out there.
