Today is #NationalColouringDay! One favourite pastime of our childhood is now popular again with adults, prompting this post on the top 10 adult colouring books. Why are adult colouring books so popular?
Colouring has been said to be able to help adults achieve mindfulness and reduce stress. While some may turn to playing music or exercising to let off some steam, others find colouring as relaxing and therapeutic.
Psychiatrist Carl Jung encouraged his patients to colour as a way to help them express some of the deeper parts of their psyche, and to calm and center their minds. Some may argue creating your own piece of art is more effective in prompting creativity and mindfulness. However, others praise adult colouring books as inspiring their artistic side.
