Psychologist’s opinion on the benefits of coloring

Coloring therapy has already spread all over the world.

I am not telling that coloring will solve all the problems that you have in your life but coloring pages can definitely take your mind out of tension for some time as you concentrate more and think creatively during the activity.

This eases your mind from tension and it is proven that people who take part in such creative activities – at least for an hour in a day – are more successful in their work than others.

Even psychologists refer to coloring as a great relaxation technique for adults.

Carl G Jung is the first psychologist who implemented this concept using mandalas or circular designs that draws attention to its center.

Gloria Martinez Ayala is a famous psychologist and she says that different areas of the brain get activated while coloring.

The cerebral cortex region of the brain that plays a role in our vision and also motor skills also get activated.

On the other hand, the activity of the amygdala gets lowered and this helps in controlling emotions due to stress and provides relaxation.
