Why Is Color By Numbers So Relaxing?

January 27, 2021 by Ian Leave a Comment


In recent days, adults are taking part in coloring activities to bring them back to their younger days. Or better still, to help then relax and recharge to face another day.

Luckily there are hundreds of color by number gaming apps to help you achieve just that. But why is coloring so relaxing? Read on to discover why;-

Relieves Anxiety

Anxiety is a common condition expressing itself as excessive worry, panic attacks, and thoughts of death. One may present with fever, chills, insomnia, nausea, and other physical signs and symptoms that do not add up.

Coloring soothes persistent negative emotions and unending anxiety by giving you a simple task that requires your complete focus. Besides, painting makes you hypnotic, leaving you feeling relaxed and recharged.

Reduces Stress

The idea of using art to relieve stress dates back to the pioneers of modern psychology. Mandalas are the most popular adult coloring page. Its intricate design demands 100% concentration to color, with options to explore one’s imagination.

Besides, the aesthetically pleasing design draws an individual into a state of mediation. In this state, you discover yourself and your role in this world, plus explore options to the troubles in your life. The result is that you end the coloring session a more relaxed person than you came.

Displaces Negative Thoughts

Are you worried about unpaid bills, your future, job, or family? Understandably, it is almost impossible to experience such thoughts in the uncertain world we are living in. However, these negative thoughts only serve to make us feel worse.

With the focus of coloring, these passive thoughts fade away as feelings of resentment and fear are slowly replaced with joy, happiness, and achievement.

Form of Meditation

Multiple studies elaborate on the importance of meditation in our daily lives. However, thanks to our busy schedules, taking time off to meditate becomes almost impossible. And even when you do, you can barely concentrate because of the hundreds of tasks waiting for you.

Coloring draws into a higher state of consciousness with its aesthetically pleasing patterns. This subtly soothes aware stress, anxiety, anger, and depression. Notably, the intricate designs draw you into a semi-hypnotic state, giving you a better insight into yourself and your position in this world.

Most people who find it difficult to tune out the world while meditating seem to find it easier to achieve a similar effect when coloring.

Triggers Happy Memories

Who doesn’t have the nostalgia of happier times? Coloring brings out these memories. As you color, you channel a bit of those golden years, and you begin to experience the joy, fun, and excitement you used to have when you were younger. It may be short-lived, but it goes a long way in helping you relax.

Conclusion

Make it a routine to color at least one image at the end of the day or during your breaks. This simple activity will have an immense effect on your stress levels over time; even those around you will attest to it.
