7 Reasons I Enjoy Coloring Books for Relaxation

Have you jumped into the coloring books for relaxation trend? I don’t usually follow fads, but this happens to be something I actually like. Before you laugh and say, “coloring books are for kids,” take a look at 7 reasons why I enjoy coloring books for relaxation.

7 Reasons I Enjoy Coloring Books for Relaxation:

• I used to enjoy these types of mosaic or geometric coloring books when I was a tween/teen, so to me it’s a revival of something nostalgic.
• I’ve never been good at drawing, but I do enjoy choosing color schemes and seeing the designs come to life as I color them.
• My oldest daughter enjoys them, too, so it gives us a fun and creative hobby to do together.
• I’m not one who can just veg out in front of the TV or sit still and “do nothing,” so this is a nice way for me to unwind when I’m overtired or stressed out.
• It helps me to clear my mind so I can actually focus on my work more efficiently if I take a “brain break” with these coloring books.
• Using the Bible verses or inspirational coloring books helps me to memorize scripture and spend more quiet time in prayer and encouragement.
• Many of them are meant to be frame-worthy, so it’s a nice way to decorate the house with inexpensive yet pretty works of art that inspire positive thinking.
