S2: E12 Add Some Color

A friend of mine gave me a coloring book called "More Good Vibes" for my birthday this year and it was exactly what I needed. I mean, who doesn't need more good vibes in their life?! Each page has inspiring quotes or words, and encourages you to add your own details throughout the page. 

As a kid, I would love to color or draw. Sometimes I had something specific in mind and other times it was just a canvas of scribbles. It was fun then, and it still is now! I was so excited each night this week to add a little more here and there to the page. I put in my headphones, sharpened my pencils, grabbed some markers, and tuned out the real world for a bit. The words on the page really resonated with me and needed to be brought to life.

"Be kind to yourself."

It is so easy to let negative thoughts take over and tell you things that are not true. I am learning to create positives from them instead. I wouldn't say bad things about my friends, so why do I say them to myself? I need to make my mind my friend. Taking time to enjoy these little moments alone and finding what brings me true joy and love. I am stuck with myself forever, so I better love myself!

Life starts out as an uncolored page, and we get to decide what colors to use and where to use them. Each day we are handed a colored pencil, crayon, marker, whatever it is you want it to be, we just need to make sure we add some color.
