Something for the Kids! Download our Fall Themed Alpaca Coloring Pages
Something for the kids (and anyone else who needs a quick break from their everyday!)
To put it lightly, this year has been a whirlwind.
We know that many people, young and old, are feeling extra stress and anxiety with all the sacrifices we’ve individually and collectively made this year.
Believe it or not, coloring has been proven to reduce stress and anxiety, in children but also adults!
Attention Flows Away from Ourselves
A simple act, such as coloring, takes your attention away from yourself (and those things that are stressing you out!) and onto the present-moment. In this way, it’s similar to meditation, mowing the lawn, or even knitting.
It Relaxes the Brain
When thoughts are focused on this simple activity, your brain tends to relax. You’re not disturbed by your own thoughts and appraisals. The difficulties of life evaporate from your awareness, and both your body and your brain may find this rewarding and use it as a pause to the usual programming.
Low Stakes Make it Pleasurable
Whether you color inside the lines, or outside, it’s OK! The outcome of coloring isn’t predictable or prescriptive. It can be as neat - or as messy - as you choose, and it’s one of it’s relaxing perks. It’s hard to screw up coloring, and, even if you do, there is no real consequence. Just ask our 3 year old grandson who insists on coloring over all my completed coloring “masterpieces” in BLACK!
