Day 14 Gratitude Challenge – Colour

Expect nothing, appreciate everything – Tiny Buddha

Today’s challenge is to reflect on colour.

Colours have many defining qualities and characteristics. My favourite colour is red, it sits in the warm spectrum of the colour wheel, a strong emotionally intense colour.

It is the colour of the base chakra It is the root of your being and establishes the deepest connections with your physical body, your environment and with the Earth.

Muladhara is the most instinctual of all chakras - it is your survival center. Your fight and flight response is initiated from this chakra. This is your primal, animal nature.

Red is used as a warning, it is energising, passionate, full of optimism and enthusiasm. Having red in my life gives me a feeling of confidence, and motivation.

I am grateful for the ability to surround myself with the warm, energising , passionate colour.

“Gratitude doesn't change the scenery. It merely washes clean the glass you look through so you can clearly see the colors.” ― Richelle E. Goodrich
