\nREDUCE STRESS AND ANXIETY< br />Coloring has the ability to relax the fear center of your brain\, the amygdala. It induces the same state as meditating by reducing the thought s of a restless mind. This generates mindfulness and quietness\, which all ows your mind to get some rest after a long day at work.

OTOR SKILLS AND VISION
Coloring goes beyond being a fun activity for
relaxation. It requires the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate. W
hile logic helps us stay inside the lines\, choosing colors generates a cr
eative thought process.
IMPROVE SLEEP
We know we get a better
night&rsquo\;s sleep when avoiding engaging with electronics at night\, b
ecause exposure to the emitted light reduces your levels of the sleep horm
one\, melatonin. Coloring is a relaxing and electronic-free bedtime ritual
that won&rsquo\;t disturb your level of melatonin.
IMPROVE FOCUS< br />Coloring requires you to focus\, but not so much that it&rsquo\;s str essful. It opens up your frontal lobe\, which controls organizing and prob lem solving\, and allows you to put everything else aside and live in the moment\, generating focus.
