Keep Coloring! 7 Amazing Things That Happen To Your Brain When You Color.

December 5, by Katie Smith. 1 Comment

If you have jumped on the adult coloring band wagon, then this is the best news ever. It is 7 facts of why coloring is good for you. So if people ask “why are you coloring?” or say something like “coloring is for kids”, just send them a link to this article by OMG Facts!

Number 6 on their list is definitely true with me- Less stress and anxiety.

Read the full list here: 7 Amazing Things That Happen To Your Brain When You Color – OMG Facts 

Coloring is a pastime that many of us enjoyed as kids, but did you know that it can also be incredibly beneficial for our mental health as adults? It turns out that there are a number of amazing things that happen to your brain when you color.

First and foremost, coloring is an excellent stress reliever. When you’re focused on the task at hand, your brain is able to take a break from the constant chatter and worries that can plague our thoughts. This can help to lower cortisol levels, which are often elevated when we’re feeling anxious or stressed.

Coloring can also help to improve your mood. When you’re coloring, your brain releases dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. This can leave you feeling more relaxed and content, and can even help to combat symptoms of depression.

Another benefit of coloring is that it can improve your focus and concentration. When you’re coloring intricate designs or patterns, you have to pay close attention to what you’re doing. This can help to train your brain to focus on the present moment, which can translate to better focus and productivity in other areas of your life.

Coloring can be a great way to boost your creativity. When you’re coloring, you’re engaging the right side of your brain, which is responsible for creative thinking. This can help to unleash your imagination and inspire new ideas and insights.

Coloring can be a wonderful way to practice mindfulness. When you’re coloring, you’re fully immersed in the task at hand, which can help to quiet your mind and bring you into the present moment. This can be incredibly grounding and can help you to feel more centered and at peace.

There are many amazing things that happen to your brain when you color. So if you’re looking for a simple and enjoyable way to improve your mental health, why not give coloring a try? Whether you’re coloring on your own or with friends, it’s a fun and easy way to give your brain a much-needed break and reap the many benefits of this relaxing pastime.
