Has anyone tried coloring for help with anxiety?

I have been reading that coloring can help with anxiety. I do EFT tapping some and deep breathing several times a day but was wondering if anyone uses coloring and if it helps you calm down.

These are nice suggestions thanx for sharing!☺️Would you please explain more about the tapping ?? I remember hearing something about that a long time ago but didn’t really understand it??

I use the app The Tappong Solution on my phone. It does help quite a bit., Most of the time.

I do color and find it quite therapeutic I also started knitting and crocheting now that helps a lot too keeps my mind occupied

I taught myself to crochet last Christmas but havent been doing anything lately. I may have to find me a pattern and start a new project.

Mmm, I’m wondering now maybe that’s why my daughter gave me a drawing type book and colored pencils? I like to watch cartoons from my childhood or music from back then? It comforts me 🙏😷

Coloring, drawing, painting and basically doing any artistic activity while listening to your favorite music is very relaxing! You should give it a try. ❤️

I use an online colouring app that I really like. You have to tap the screen to apply the colours, so might kill two birds with one stone. 😀
