Color Your World

If you don't like the way things are going,
change something.
Start with your thinking.

Here we are at the beginning of a new year – a clean page.
Color it any way you want!
Dig out your crayon box of life tools.
Find the ones you want to use to color your life with value.

RED – add excitement! Do something new each day,
each week, each month.
Feeding your spirit with new experiences
is a great way to keep your page – your life – fresh and vibrant.
Travel. Try a new restaurant. Or a new entrée at your favorite place.
Experiment. Explore.

BLUE – add peace. Make time for quiet reflection,
soft music, an upliting book, a walk in the woods.
Get up a few minutes before everyone else.
Pick a day or two a month to get away from your usual routines and pressures.

GREEN – add healthy foods into your diet.
Living foods help you stay healthy and looking good!
Add an extra fruit or vegetable to each meal.
Small changes in your diet is a great investment in your future health.

YELLOW – add joy! Smile. Compliment someone.
Write a note to a friend. Adopt a 'secret pal'.
Give something away. Bless someone without them knowing.
Whatever you give away, you'll get back. Be happy. –
And get outside in the sunshine as often as you can.

PURPLE – add comfort. Get rid of clutter.
Simplify your life – your closet, your house, your schedule, your workday.
Purple is the color of royalty. Treat yourself like the special person you are.
Create a special place for yourself to relax and enjoy your favorite things.
(Maybe that extra room, now that the kids are gone … )

ORANGE – add creativity. Carve a pumpkin? Well, maybe not.
But why not try a new craft, write poetry,
start that book you've always wanted to write.
Learn something new. Stretch your mind.
Staying active mentally (and physically)
is the secret to living well and long.

There. We've created a rainbow of colors for your world.
Someone said the definition of insanity is
doing the same thing over and over again –
and expecting different results.
Making small daily changes will help you construct the life you dream of.

You're valuable and unique.
Share your specialness with the world.
And remember …
Life is a journey, travel first class.
