These days coloring is not just for kids. Adult coloring has shown to have many therapeutic benefits.
For mindfulness specifically, adult coloring has two main benefits:
Firstly, adult coloring gives us a some relief from tension, anxiety and stress. This means it might be the perfect thing to add into an evening routine. Doing a bit of coloring every evening may seem a bit funny, but it can actually be quite a therapeutic method of unwinding from a tough day.
Secondly, coloring is actually a way to practice mindfulness directly. It takes full focus. You need to slow down and think about what you are working on, getting other things out of your mind. This can almost make this coloring practice a little bit like a mini-meditation where your mind can roam free while you are focusing on details.
Now all you need are some good adult coloring books and some colored pencils or crayons.
