Top 3 Best Stress Relief Coloring Books in 2022

Some articles all over the place support the idea that a stress relief coloring book for adults helps people with chronic pain, depression, and mental illness, as well as people who just want to relax. Focusing on the piece of paper in front of you, choosing the colors, deciding if you want to use markers, colored pencils, or gel pens, and choosing the picture you want to color all take your mind off of whatever is stressing you out, hurting you, or making you sad, and help calm your mind.

Find out which kinds of books help you relax as you read your first few pages of books. But for you, we’ve made a list of the 3 best coloring books for meditation.

Color Me Calm Illustrated by Angela Porter and written by Art Therapist Lacy Mucklow. 

With its unique spine that lets the book open flat, it looks so nice on a shelf. All of the “Color Me” books have five sections. Lacy Mucklow writes a short introduction to each one, and then there are calming pictures and mandalas to color. There are 100 pictures, and each page is only printed on one side, so you don’t have to worry about gel pens or markers leaking through. The page facing it has a calming mandala pattern that I like to use to try out different color combinations and test pens. Color Me Happy, Color Me Stress-Free, Color Me Fearless, and a new portable version of Color Me Happy and Color Me Calm is also part of the series.

This stress relief coloring book has a great review from a woman who bought it for her mother before she had brain surgery so that her mother would have something to do afterward. She says that this book changed the way her mother lived.

Creative Haven Entangled Book by Angela Porter 

This book has 30 original patterns that were all drawn by hand. It was inspired by Zentangle, a way to make repetitive patterns that help you relax and express your creativity. Flowers, stars, and geometric shapes are used in Angela’s designs. Pages have holes in them and are only printed on one side, so they are easy to tear out and put on display. This coloring book is made just for experienced colorists and is a fun way to unwind and relieve stress.

However, if you want to read a book that can help you deal with stress and anxiety through meditation, “Meditation for anxiety and stress relief” by Faye Quinn is a good choice because it has all the tricks and tips that can help you overcome your anxiety.
