Mermaid Coloring Book Karin Offender

The benefits of coloring for this book:

1. Your brain experiences relief by entering a meditative state : Every page you color will pull you into a relaxing world where your responsibilities will seem to fade away
2. Stress and anxiety levels have the potential to be lowered : It can make you more alert and help you perform better in certain situations.
3. Negative thoughts are expelled as you take in positivity: Coloring being referred to as a form of therapy, there are others who welcome the growing trend.
4. Focusing on the present helps you achieve mindfulness: Easy Ways You Can Fit Mindfulness into Your Busy Life
5. Unplugging from technology promotes creation over consumption : Mindfulness and Being Present in the Moment
6. Coloring can be done by anyone, not just artists or creative types: Coloring has been shown to have stress-reducing benefits. The reason? Coloring is said to calm the amygdala, the part of the brain related to the fear/stress response while stimulating the parts of the brain responsible for creativity and logic.
7. It's a hobby that can be taken with you wherever you go: Group coloring time is becoming an increasingly popular activity in many places as clubs and social groups pop up to facilitate it.

It is, however, a fun and relaxing activity and an inexpensive way to relax, de-stress and spend some time with friends or your kids. Since it may help sleep, focus, and creativity, I figured a book was worth a try!
