You know, sometimes being an adult can sorta, well, suck. We’re constantly surrounded by daily pressures: work, home, kids . . . it can all add up to some serious stress. Life doesn’t have to be so difficult all the time. It is possible for you to de-stress your life with just a few artful, measured strokes.
Stay inside the lines with adult coloring books.
The Benefits of Adult Coloring Books
Coloring books for adults are quickly gaining in popularity. The intricately drawn pages can provide hours of stress relief, making the activity of coloring beneficial to your emotional and mental health. Take a step back in time and relive the joy of childhood with coloring books.
To get you started on your therapeutic journey, Midlife-A-Go-Go is giving away a Colorama Coloring Book to one (1) lucky winner. Within the pages, you’ll find many patterns, including stained glass, paisley, flowers and more. There are over 100 pages designs with perforated pages so you can remove and proudly display your masterpiece. As an added bonus, you’ll get 12 coloring pencils. See below for entry and rules.
Coloring books aren’t just for kids anymore. It’s time for adults to pick up a coloring pencil and let the relaxation begin.
This sounds like a much healthier “brain break” from work than surfing social media! Thanks for the chance to win it!
As we get older, our brains need all the breaks they can get! 😉 Thanks for entering Roxanne!
I adore coloring books. I pray while I color. It is the easiest way for my mind to stay focused during prayer.
What a wonderful benefit of coloring, Sasha.
My daughter is 16 and loves to color with her gel pens. She would love to have another book. I got her one last year.
Here’s wishing you luck in this giveaway! If you win, I’m sure your daughter will be thrilled!
I have never done adult coloring. I would hope to gain some me time and time to gather myself.
“Me time” is so important, Laura. Coloring would be a relaxing way to fill your Me time.”
I just think that coloring is fun! Love the designs in the adult coloring books.
I agree, Wendy. The designs are wonderful; in some books the patterns are really intricate.
I’m a newbie, and I’m mostly just looking for fun from it. It seems like a really fun way to spend some time.
Wouldn’t it be great to dip back into childhood like that, Julie? Kids love to color and I’m guessing that passion is a carry-over for more than a few adults.
I’m a newbie and I hope to gain calm and serenity!
…and who among us wouldn’t love a bit of calm and serenity? Thanks for entering, Lisa.
I have not colored since I was a kid. I think I will totally destress when I start coloring again. Doing anything creative has always relaxed me!
Total simpatico, Alison. My thoughts, as well. When I turn on my creativity, I turn off the stress.
I love all the designs. I used to color as a kid and don’t remember such a great selection!
Yeah Heather, there are some really fancy, intricate designs out there now. Definitely not the level of coloring we did as little ones! 🙂
I love how coloring becomes almost a meditative experience – it’s very calming.
I think it’s the level of concentration on beauty that allows for that, Wehaf. Glad you could enter!
I remember I used to print pages off the internet and color. Way long before the adult color book fad. I would love to try the new adult coloring book though! Just kicking myself for not coming out with my own 5 years ago. lol :p thank you for the cool giveaway!
You’re welcome, Bianca. You were ahead of the curve 5 years ago! 😉 You know, you could still produce your own line of coloring books. They’re so in demand right now. Thanks for entering!
I was hoping to get a chance to relax.
Darlene, coloring could be so relaxing and therapeutic for you. Everybody needs to relax…probably a lot more than we think. Good luck and thanks for entering.
I’m a newbie, but I think it would be relaxing and very soothing on days I feel kind of crappy!
I’m thinking coloring would take away that crappy feeling in a hurry, Andrea! Thanks for entering.

I get to get my mind off things for a while and also create something while doing so!

Girl time…together with your daughters – that would be fabulous, Liza! Thanks for visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go and good luck in the giveaway!
I am a newbie. I’ve been seeing a bunch of friends posting pictures on their FB page their latest coloring page, and have considered it myself. I think it would be a great break from everyday life to just get into coloring a page and let myself relax.
Klynn, I think your friends are onto something! If you win the giveaway, you can join in the fun! Thanks for visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go and entering.
I just finished my 3rd coloring book as an adult! It really is relaxing. I color in the evening while my husband & I watch TV. Its amazing how I can do both.
Susan, I don’t think I would be able to fully concentrate on coloring while watching TV; I would, however, be able to peek at the screen every now and then! 😉 Thanks for entering, and thanks for visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go.
What I hope to gain from adult coloring is something to take the focus off of stress. It is quite peaceful concentrating on a task such as coloring to “lose yourself” and become calm.
Losing yourself in something so calming, so tranquil, so creative — that’s the way to go, Michelle. Thanks for visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go and good luck in the giveaway.
I’ve enjoyed learning about the different tools and techniques used for coloring.
What I find fascinating, Melody, is the arran of designs that are out there. So many to choose from; so many ways to relax. Good luck in the giveaway and thanks for coming over to Midlife-A-Go-Go.
I color more now as an adult than I did as a kid! I find it a relaxing way to de-stress!
It’s the antidote for de-stressing! Thanks for visiting and entering.
It’s so nice to be out of my head when I’m coloring, to leave all the stress and worries behind
It’s like a mini-vacation for the mind, Lynn. Thanks for entering and visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go.
I am new to adult coloring. Coloring was always relaxing and mind numbing (in a good way).
In this case, mind-numbing truly is a good thing, Heather! 🙂 Thanks for visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go and entering the giveaway.
I love coloring as an adult, it’s a way to get your mind off of things.

I’m glad it helps you relax, Mary. We could all use a bit of relaxation! Thanks for visiting Midlife-A-Go-Go and entering.
I just started a couple of months ago and its so fun!

I just think it would be fun.
