Coloring is one of the most common activities among children.
It is a pleasant pastime that allows refining important motor skills and develops the first artistic skills,
related to the recognition and use of colors.
Coloring is not a therapeutic practice and is something quite distinct from art therapy.
However, this is a repetitive and relatively simple task the ideal to "switch off" and relax, reducing stress.
Therefore, coloring is highly beneficial. Coloring drawings and mandalas is an activity capable of freeing the mind from stress and anxiety.
It is an activity that leads to breaking away from routine and worries, completely immersing oneself
in a task with no other purpose than to have a little fun.
The beneficial effects of coloring are two:
- distract the mind from negative thoughts
- adjust the mood through positive activity.
Being reconciled with one's feelings, exploring one's emotional conflicts, knowing oneself better,
keeping anxiety and stress under control are among the benefits that can be drawn from taking crayons and pencils and putting on coloring.
Not least, some say that choosing the color to use, the right combinations, being careful not to go outside the edges are all ways to keep the brain in training.
