Color is a wonderful thing. It influences our moods, brightens up space, and ultimately makes life far more visually interesting. Without color, we’d all be forced to live in a monotone world with little interest or intrigue— with color, the world is a stunning tapestry of different shades and tones, all weaving together to create a truly stunning home.

Most of us appreciate color, but it’s interesting to note that we focus on a select number of colors and shades. As demonstrated by this handy chart on htmlcolorcodes.com, there are literally thousands of different colors and shades… but we don’t use them. Instead, most of us stick to a standard color palette, especially when it comes to our home decor and design.

Mindfulness: it is not just a buzzword or a trend to be dabbled in. It is something that we as adults should be aiming to have a skill, and pass down to our children too. Before we look at how we can instill mindfulness in our children (and whole family), let’s look at what mindfulness is.

“a mental state achieved by focusing one's awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations, used as a therapeutic technique.”

First things first:

In order to teach something like mindfulness, we need to have our practices in place. How do you do it? Do you meditate? Do you have an inner monologue of sayings that help you stay in that space? Whatever it is, you have to be doing it too. If not, there is no better time to start. Set a goal to begin meditating for at least 3 minutes a day – you can use an app to help you if you want, then up your time when you get more and more comfortable with it.

Think about why you are doing this? If you are finding that you are setting expectations, then perhaps you need to reconsider. Anything other than for your child to learn to process thoughts and feelings with a sense of confidence then stop.
