How 10 Minutes of Coloring a Day Can Help You Feel Calmer
🧘♀️ Do you ever feel like your brain just won’t slow down?
You’re not alone. Between work, home, and endless scrolling, the mind can get stuck in “overdrive.”
That’s why I created this space—Coloring Therapy—to remind us that healing can start with a simple pencil stroke.
Yes, even 10 minutes a day of coloring can shift your nervous system from chaos to calm.
🖌️ Why coloring helps your mental health
Scientific studies have shown that coloring:
-
Activates the brain’s reward center
-
Reduces activity in the fear response system (amygdala)
-
Encourages mindfulness and emotional regulation
In short: it brings your body and mind into a calmer rhythm.
