Create Art

Getting in touch with your creative side may have been easy for you during childhood, but it’s not too late to pick it up again if you’ve lost touch with your penchant for artwork.

Consider coloring in a coloring book if you aren’t into drawing or painting. Adult coloring books have risen in popularity, and for good reason coloring can be a great stress reliever.

Research consistently shows that coloring can have a meditative effect. One study found that coloring helped reduce feelings of anxiety, depression and negative feelings when combined with medication and physical therapy.
