Mood Color
What’s the color of your world today? Is it sunny yellow optimism with splashes of promising sky blue? Or is it dull grey downness with blobs of brown mist to cover your tears?
There are jobs where individuals and teams brainstorm potential color names based on trends, goods and even personal preferences to sell products. I know that I would have a few new ones to add that their lists. I also know that we can get up to a foggy, rainy or cloudy day and have the weather dictate how we are feeling. The early morning sunshine with birds chirping and green leaves blowing on the trees can lighten our mood as we crawl out of bed too. Our job or role in life is to be someone’s light - someone’s color in his or her day - to lighten life up when the going gets rough. Even - yes, even when we don’t feel like we have it in us. Asking the Creator of the universe for help is a great idea. After all, just look at nature to see every color in the oceans to the forests to the rivers and the valleys. And then we can be thankful and share that joy of creation.
So whether it’s smokey trout or firecracker red, we can brighten our mood by thinking positively when our mood dictates the opposite. How do we do that? Simple: by changing our mind and thoughts. Mindfulness or minding, as I like to call it is moving your color palate from the dreary browns and dismals to the neon pink and flashing yellows of hope.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit.”
