Stress Management Support Group
Stress management defines stress as a person's physiological response to an external stimulus that triggers the "fight-or-flight" reaction.Stress can be overwhelming. This community is for best practices in stress management.
I have recently noticed the large fascination of using adult coloring books. Many people have stated that it helps lower their stress levels and brings down their anxiety. I was curious is anyone uses this method and if it has helped them? I have recently just purchased one off of Amazon and I am a little skeptical of whether or not it is beneficial.

I'm an artsy person to begin with so I was curious and got one. I like it and art has always helped my stress.

I had one for Christmas and it's really helpful. I listen to relaxing music while coloring and it's really relaxing!

This definitely has helped me destress a bit during some rough patches this past month. Taking out a fresh new sheet devoid of color instantly relaxes me. Then choosing specific colors to bring a picture to life is the best part. I need to find a new book soon though.

Yes they work! I used to bring mine to work at my last job and it helped a lot. They are so fun and have so many great pages to color. I'm glad you decided to try one. It is so relaxing, I know you will love it :)

I see that many of these posts are from several months back, but I would like to add that YES I find adult coloring books to be very relaxing, and the way that it works is that it takes your mind off of all the other problems that are bothering you, it helps to clear your mind because your mind is focused on just the coloring, and it is FUN. I framed a bunch of mine and I received many complements on them.
