Coloring is Art Therapy
According to the Health & Wellbeing article, coloring can be used as art therapy, which can increase focus and calm brain cells so that the body is more relaxed than before.
How did it happen?
First of all, colors have a strong influence on your thoughts and emotions. Different colors mean different meanings. This causes physiological responses, such as moods, feelings, and behaviors.
For example, red is associated with energy, blue is for calming, and purple with spirituality.
Second, art has an impact on the human mind, emotions, and well-being. Besides stimulating creativity and imagination, art has the power to communicate through empathy and compassion.
