Coloring can help you relax and reduce stress, especially if you're coloring a mandala. A mandala (Sanskrit: circle) is a spiritual configuration of symbols that's used in sacred rituals and as an instrument of meditation. Mandalas are fun to color because of all the patterns and designs.

According to Positive Psychology, "DeLue (1999) investigated the effect of coloring mandalas on relaxation by recording physiological changes. The study found that the coloring of mandala designs decreased heart rate and blood pressure, while simultaneously improving some symptoms of stress and anxiety. Mandala drawing and coloring has been found to reduce negative mood states and actively serves as a mood enhancer (Babouchkins & Robbins, 2015)."
