Let's have some coloring fun!
As we get older, we tend to put away our crayons in favor of pens and highlighters, and by the time we're adults, we may be just down to blackpens (gel rollerballs for me, thank you!) But there's a growing body ofresearch that coloring is actually good for our grownup brains that ithelps us destress, relax and tap into our more intuition.
Psychologists and art therapists agree on the meditative powers of turningoff the world and focusing on coloring. There is a unique marriage of thecognitive skills it takes to choose colors and the motor skills of applyingthem and the methodical action of filling a page that helps create a littlespace in one's day, a tiny Zen garden on paper.
So break out your colored pencils, crayons, markers or whatever yourartistic instrument of choice may be and enjoy!
