Does coloring really decrease stress?

Well, let’s just say, this past time is not exactly intellectually stimulating but it does add color to your life.

Certified art therapist and Program Coordinator for the Graduate Art Therapy Program at NYU, Marygrace Berberian says: “Coloring definitely has therapeutic potential to reduce anxiety, create focus or bring about more mindfulness.”

Coloring actually works a lot like meditation. Anxiety and pressing thoughts are swept aside as you focus on creative color combinations for your floral pattern, animal shapes or mandalas. Result? A tranquil feeling of bliss.
