The simple act of coloring can transport the mind and bring a nostalgic feeling of simpler childhood days. Similar to other hobbies, the artistic pastime has the ability to refocus attention, relax the brain, provide an avenue to express creativity, and bring peace and clarity in the moment. Over recent years, there has been a surge in the popularity of adult coloring books focused-on stress reducing designs, such as mandalas, to comic book and whimsical characters. This year on National Coloring Book Day, August 2, spend the day unwinding with crayons, colored pencils or markers, and create personal masterpieces from designs found in a bound book, an online template or from your personal photos.
