My previous post got me thinking about color. Color is all around us in nature, life, the foods we eat, the habitats we live and work in; and yet color is something we often overlook. If I asked you to stop and tell me what color your neighbors house is, what color your boss’s car is, what color the tiles are at work or school…would you be able to? Mindfulness is all about WAKING UP from auto-pilot. Mindfulness of color can be a quick way to wake up and increase the amount of time you spend observing the present.
Try it…
Take the next few moment to spot something red…something orange…yellow…green…something blue…and purple. You can expand from their if you would like: black, brown, white, pink…
Allow the search for color, really noticing the colors in your world, to anchor you to the present moment. Stop worrying about what might happen or fretting about what did. Come back to the now and take a moment to find the beauty and variety of color where ever you are.
