The Adult Coloring Book You NEED, According To Your Zodiac Sign
Who says coloring books are just for kids?
weheartit In the hullabaloo of everyday adult life, we can find ourselves driven out of our wits because there's just too many things on our minds! What can we do?
Turns out, you should dig through your kids' art supplies (or if you're single, take a quick run to staples) and grab a box of crayons. Because you, my stressed adult friend, need to color.
No, we're not joking, coloring helps!
According to Higher Perspectives, coloring is actually beneficial to the state of mind of adults. They improve your concentration, motor skills, and creativity. In fact, according to Medical Daily, art therapy is used to treat people with depression, dementia, anxiety, PTSD, and even cancer. They relieve your stress as effectively as meditation and is very, very, very relaxing. Why do you think kids love it so much?
Just don't steal your daughter's Frozen coloring book. Adult coloring books exist for this very reason, but which one do you pick?
What about one based on your zodiac sign? Here are the perfect coloring books for you, as dictated by the stars.
