I am super excited to offer this FREE eBook for stress relief.
A couple of years ago, my husband and I worked as houseparents for abused and neglected teenage girls. During our training, we noticed that the girls spent a lot of time coloring with the other set of houseparents. At first I thought it was because the teenage girls were not as mature as other girls their age. But I was wrong.
The other set of houseparents knew something I didn’t: coloring is a form of stress relief. It is a peaceful and calming activity. And our girls needed the peaceful activity to counter the stress of their past and the stress of being separated from their biological parents.
Some doctors believe that stress is the number one underlying cause for illness and disease. And I believe it too — because the Book of Proverbs teaches that a heart at peace gives life and health to the body. Read about my experiences with stress here.
Coloring is a great way to let go of some of the angst of daily activities — and it may have additional health benefits as well.
According to Dr. Mercola, “Coloring activities do more than help relieve stress. They also help train your mind to focus.” [1]
Developing focus, or mindfulness as Mercola calls it, can produce the following benefits:[2]
- Reduce stress
- Improve memory
- Reduce emotional reactivity
- Improve cognitive flexibility
- Improve work performance
- Improve conflict resolution
- Improve social skills
Stress knows no bounds. It can strike any age group. And thankfully it is no longer taboo for adults to color. In fact it can be a lot of fun.
That is part of the reason I put together this eBook, 22 Reproducible Coloring Pages for Stress Relief. The book is great for all age groups. There are simple designs and complex.
I have made 22 Reproducible Coloring Pages for Stress Relief available two ways:
- Join the Reformed Health Community and get it for FREE. Just follow this link and it will get you signed up. It costs you nothing to join. I only need your name and email — nothing else. As soon as that is confirmed — I will send you an email containing the FREE eBook.
- Or if you want the coloring book, but don’t want to join Reformed Health. No problem. The coloring book is available on Etsy for $9.99. The great thing about the book is that it is reproducible and printable — so you can use it hundreds or thousands of time. Not just once like an ordinary coloring book.

You will receive hours and hours of stress relief — and if you have children — they’ll will have fun coloring the designs with their friends.
