Often times the worries of our world build up. We go through the entire day putting out fires, jumping through hoops and just trying to survive. When you finally get home you still have to make dinner and spend time with the family. After all that you are exhausted. It's easy to just scroll through social media, shop on Amazon or zone out on Netflix. Consume, consume and consume more empty, meaningless, creativity killing garbage. But remember, we are the light of the world. We were created to create, we download revelation directly from the Father. Even in its most silly form, creativity starts and grows from just setting the intention to create something. Even if that something is adding color to a page you have to start somewhere. Creativity is like faith, a little will go a long way. 

Have you ever felt like your mind is cluttered or you can't hear yourself think? Are you looking to clear your mind in a simple straight forward way? Coloring has the same effects on the mind and body as meditation. Neuropsychologist have found that like mediation, coloring encourages the mind to focus on the present moment. Focusing on the easy and simple task of coloring encourages the brain to stop processing complex stressful situations and relax. Your heart rate and brain waves slow, and it has a calming effect on your entire body. This is when we as believers can carefully listen to hear the still small voice of the Holy Spirit as he drops thoughts, revelations and ideas into our spirt. 

Coloring brings us back to the days of our childhood. When life was easy and all we worried about was getting our favorite snack. Picking colors, looking at shapes and angles and making decisions that are only based on how them make you feel. There are no negative consequences and no wrong answers. The sky can be pink, the grass can be blue, and you are free to think outside the box. This activity of freedom allows you to create something to be proud of in a short amount of time and replaces any negative, doubtful internal conversations with feel good positivity and endless possibilities.
