Hi jfer. I have been using one of these adult coloring books for about two months now.

I have to say it has lowered my stress level tremendously. Helps me relax and clears my head.

I have gone a bit crazy buying lots of colored pencils - but that makes it all the more fun.

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am enjoying mine! Hugs!

I recently bought myself coloring books too and it has helped me to clear my mind and relax for a convenient amount of time. Sometimes when I'm stuck in the gutter with numerous things to do, l look at fun activities like coloring books or even Sudoku can just warm me up before getting started on things I need to get done. So yes I think it's beneficial!!

Hi Jfer, You are right. You can get rid of stress using adult coloring Books. I have purchased the coloring book from this list. It is beneficial.

I find it can help now and then for me, depends on how much stress I happen to be under. I have a few so I don't get bored with the same one. But can be relaxing.

I've been coloring for years and it's very calming.

Putting on some soothing music while coloring doubles the therapeutic benefits.I brought my brain injured companion to an adult coloring get together at the local library today, and he was so relaxed, he went to bed early.It was good for both of us.

I think that coloring engages the creative part of the brain and takes your mind off the stressful situations you are currently experiencing. I find it relaxing.

Hi, I tried these coloring books and became instantly addicted. I loved to color as a kid, so I found out I still love to color. It does seem to reduce my stress level quite a bit. I don't know how, but it does. I started out using old colored pencils that were left over from when my kids were in school. I am thinking about getting a nice set with more colors. Give it a try, it worked for me.

While I don't color in these books, I have purchased probably a dozen of them, because I am an artist and they have been a wonderful inspiration. I hope to offer coloring pages myself one day, but for right now I'll just keep drawing and purchasing the occasional coloring book.

I've tried using these type of books, and have found it is quite relaxing. It allows you to be 'mindful' and focus on the present moment, through a pressure-less activity.

I think they are great. I have a short attention span and high boredom level, so all of mine tend to be very bright, lol...

I've never really heard much about Adult Coloring books. After this reply I'm definitely going to research and possibly invest in one, but I wanted to know what makes them useful in this capacity?
