A Calming Escape Through Color

By El mahdi Farkh

Jenna is feeling stressed from her demanding job in finance. On a whim, she picks up a coloring book marketed for adults, hoping it can provide a relaxing escape. At first she feels silly coloring as if she were a child, but soon finds herself becoming fully immersed in the intricate patterns. As she colors each detailed image, Jenna feels her mind quiet and her body relax.

When she shows her friend Amy how much the new hobby has helped her decompress, Amy is skeptical it could really help with stress. But, facing burnout herself, she agrees to give it a try. Soon Amy finds the same release that Jenna discovered. They decide to start an after-work coloring club to share the stress-relieving activity with others seeking a playful outlet.

Word of their club spreads and attendance grows each week. Jenna realizes the potential wellness benefits of coloring books extend far beyond herself and Amy. She quits her high-pressure job to focus on her new company promoting adult coloring as a mindfulness practice. Several years later, Jenna's business has helped thousands reduce anxiety through creative expression. She is proud to have found a way to share the simple joy of coloring that continues giving back each day.
