Coloring isn’t just for kids anymore!
From CNN Marygrace Berberian, a certified art therapist and the Clinical Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator for the Graduate Art Therapy Program at NYU stated that just like meditation, coloring also allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus only on the moment, helping to alleviate free-floating anxiety.
It can be particularly effective for people who aren’t comfortable with more creatively expressive forms of art!
Research has shown that coloring can reduce the symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression. And I believe that when we are able to find what works, then we should do it more often! And there is never a right or wrong way to color!
And doing this for just 20 minutes a day while you have a bingathon with your favorite TV show, sit on the patio with a cup of coffee (or tea), and even during zoom get-togethers can improve your state of happiness.
But more than that, it can help calm your mind, tap into creativity, be more productive, and find solutions with the art of active meditation aka coloring!
The coloring pages are for anyone who wants to reduce their stress while also fuel their own creative passion. While these pages are meant for adults, you can absolutely share them with your kids just be mindful that I may include some inappropriate curse words here and there – because I believe in keeping it real.
The planner pages will include monthly, weekly, daily as well as goal and finance trackers and more. You can color in these pages while mapping out your to-do’s and stay on top of all the things you handle throughout the week! But in a less stress kind of a way!

During my son’s hospitalization in 2008 following his liver transplants, his recovery was one of the biggest challenges he faced and we as a family endured. Days were definitely filled with worry, fear, and a ton of anxiety – and since I couldn’t bring in all of my art supplies, I started to doodle which eventually turned into creating my own coloring pages which then helped me focus on hope, reduce my anxiety and have faith that everything will have the best possible outcome.
I am not saying that coloring is the be and do all to your mental health, helping you stay calm, reducing your anxiety, and even bringing your clarity through active meditation! What I am saying that taking regular time out to color isn’t going to hurt!
And since my son’s diagnosis of a rare genetic disorder, I’ve been studying mental health (I have an M.S. in Counseling), personal development, and more than anything else while encouraging people to be proactive about the life changes they desire, I have done just that – and I get to share with you, not just from knowledge but from experience.
