Good Morning everybody. How was your weekend? laugh

Today I like to share an exercise for a calm and mindful mood

🌻 Close your eyes and focus on breathing slowly in and out.

🌻 As you breathe, think about your favourite colour.

🌻 Now imagine or visualize items in the world that are that color

The essence of this exercise is to create mindfulness reminders in your environment.

Please come back and share your thoughts about this exercise.

Good day to everyone!
This exercise is interesting to me. I have been using coloring in coloring books as relaxtion and mindfulness. I am not sure I have a favorite color, there are som many beautiful colors. I chose yellow as I closed my eyes and thought about my environment. As my eyes were closed I thought of certain flowers on my balcony, the sun (as we think of it) leaves in the fall, rubber ducks, butter, some cheeses, a coat my friend wears, and certain drawings or things on the wall at my desk.

When I opened my eyes I noticed National Geographic magazines that are yellow, apples in a basket on my table, the tulips I have on the table, markers next to me, and a bottle of lotion.

Thank you.

I saw cyan today, very light cyan so it's almost like a color called "pool" or "seafoam". It's my first time hearing this name "pool" as a color, i searched online. I felt so much more relaxed and free due to the exercise, thank you!

I didn't know either that cyan is called pool or seafoam but guess it might make it easier for people to imagine the colour.

Glad that this exercise helped to relax.smiley

Hey there peace. Thanks for the check in. This is an activity I do daily with my students. One minute of Mindful breathing, and I do it with them. I used to think I got more out of it than they did, but they remind me to do it everyday now. I give us something like color or place or… to think about. I love this. Thanks!!

I would remember the colors of a rainbow because all the colors mean something to people. I love the colors when a leaf changes but in Florida usually it is just green and shades of brown.

I switch between blue and green, but both are essential parts of spring and growth. I saw the sky, flora, water, and much more.
