No doubt about it….this last year and a half has been extremely stressful for all of us. I think I ran more miles, baked more cookies, and took more bubble baths last year than I did in the entire rest of my life!

Well, here’s one more stress relief remedy to try…..coloring! Researchers say that coloring relaxes the brain and takes your attention away from yourself (and those things that are stressing you out!) and helps you focus on the present moment. It’s kind of like meditation! I find that while I’m coloring, I’m able to think more creatively and come up with solutions that I’d never even thought of.

If you haven’t tried it yet, grab some colored pencils (or even crayons) and download some of these coloring pages shared by famous libraries, museums, and universities. Some of these are absolutely gorgeous! Happy coloring!  #ColorOurCollections
