It can ease the stress and refresh their mood. Coloring books for adults are now booming everywhere as they are sold in various stores.
Perhaps the reason why more adults are more into coloring books is that they are easier to understand than reading difficult books and that they can use their brains comfortably.
- The effects of coloring on the brain and mind
Coloring books are said to have effects on the brain and psychological effects, not just coloring.
First of all, coloring has the effect of energizing the entire brain.
Let’s see how the brain works and how it’s used when coloring.
Occipital lobe
This is the part that is involved in the visual sense and its recognition, and is the part that obtains information such as color and shape.When you look at a coloring book and first recognize what it is, it works actively.
Temporal lobe
It is a part that is involved in understanding language, judgment, emotions, memory, and hearing. It is activated when the information in a coloring book is checked against the memory of shapes, colors, places, etc.
Parietal lobe
It is a part that is involved in various functions such as integration and cognition with the senses of the body and other senses, recognition of stimuli, space, and recognition of computational. It gets activate when thinking about the overall composition of the coloring book and recognizing where and what is drawn.
Frontal lobe
It is also called the highest center of the brain and is involved in psychological functions such as thinking, imagination and motivation. It is also this part that programs and executes a series of exercises.information on the coloring book sent to the brain, planning such as where to start coloring and which color to make is done.
Then, by issuing a command to move your hand according to that plan, then color will be applied. The frontal lobe is actively working in a series of processes from planning to execution.
- Three psychological effects
Next, let’s look at the psychological effects.The following three effects can be mentioned as the psychological effects obtained by coloring.
- -Relaxing effect
- -Stress relief effect
- -Effect of calming anxiety
Coloring books improve blood circulation throughout the brain.As you can see, by doing coloring, you can see that the whole brain is actively working. Increasing brain stimulation in early childhood is said to help with subsequent growth. Also, it is said that coloring a book makes it easier to immerse yourself into world of painting and relieve stress and anxiety. One of the reasons might be that you can get a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment when it is completed.
About autonomic nerves
There are sympathetic nerves and parasympathetic nerves in the autonomic nerves, and the human body works smoothly while balancing the two. The sympathetic nerves, which predominate during the daytime, have the effect of tensioning the body and mind and can be agitated and frustration. Conversely, parasympathetic nerves, which become dominant at night, have a relaxing effect and make you calm.
However, the number of people with unstable autonomic nervous functions is increasing, as is the case with stress-induced insomnia. This may cause you to feel unwell and has the disadvantage of making you more likely to catch a cold. Coloring books are good for adults because they concentrate on one thing while doing it, and it can be expected that the rhythm of breathing is naturally adjusted and the balance of autonomic nerves is easily adjusted.
- The stress-releasing effect made the coloring popular.
the coloring have that much of effects? You might be wondering, but as you’ll know when you start coloring, you’ll immediately focus and enter your world.
During this time, it is a wonderful time to be relieved of stress by eliminating unnecessary anxiety and thoughts. Those who make the habit of coloring can manage stress well. In addition, coloring books use colorful colors, which means that they are unconsciously performing color therapy. The color represents the feeling at that time, and each color has various healing and excitement effects. It may be that the color you want in your mind is naturally chosen to relieve stress in coloring.
- unconscious meditate
Adult coloring books often have detailed designs, and some masterpieces take time to finish. When you start painting, your mind will be at ease and only the design in front of you will come into your eyes. This concentration state can be expected to have the same effect as meditation, and it can be said that it is easy to do unlike meditation that is done by forcing Zazen(refers to sitting meditation), that’s why we can say coloring books also attractive for adults.
If you want to experience the effect of meditation even more, we recommend using healing music and aroma candles when coloring. Being absorbed in a quiet environment is a perfect hobby in this stressful era. It’s difficult for beginners to focus on meditation. But if you’re coloring, it’s a merit that you dont feel the pressure and get into the world of your own meditation.
- The secret to making adult coloring as a hobby
Various coloring books are sold to adults who start coloring, but be careful as too small patterns may cause you to be frustrated on the way. For beginners, we recommend that you choose a large design and feel free to use the coloring book.
Also, as the life of smartphones and PCs continues, I rarely write anything with a pencil. Coloring books can also be expected to prevent finger degeneration, so if you normally use a computer, please actively do the coloring. If you get too absorbed, you may get stiff shoulders and eye strain, so be sure to take a break for at least 30 minutes before coloring and continue for fun. It might be fun to keep several books in stock and choose different coloring depending on the mood of the day.
- Summary

An adult coloring book that you can expect to release stress and activate the brain. Perfect for anyone who wants to start a new hobby.
