Did you know that coloring helps reduce stress by calming the brain and activating different parts of the cerebral hemispheres, leading to a meditative and mindful state?  This can help decrease anxiety, lower heart rate and respiration, improve sleep, and reduce physical tension. It provides low-pressure, screen-free activity that distracts from worries, stimulates creativity, and is an inexpensive way to relax.  The Office of Campus Engagement and Student Life at BGSU Firelands invites all Falcons to celebrate the new season with our "spring into color" coloring contest during our destress fest initiatives.
