ColorTherapy

Is there any particular color that gives you a boost? Orange is my favorite color. I can honestly say that it does make me feel a little better when I see the color somewhere. My bedroom color scheme is actually orange for that reason. What about you?

Today I woke up a bit tired from applying myself back to working out at the local rec center. I’ve done yoga, cycling and even more cardio classes with dancing. I’ve challenged myself to try things that make me nervous. After I got done with each class I felt really peaceful and proud of myself regardless of my depression and trauma. I’m working on letting go of trauma and self criticism by practicing certain habits. I also visualize cutting the chords from my body that are tied to my ex, my trauma, my other ex’s, jobs, cities, previous body images etc. I’ve used crystals and sage as my own routine at the end of a hard day with an Epsom salt bath to help me either placebo or mindfulness practice to stay feeling lighter in spirit and mind. Today I painted this wall. I picked out this blue and it turned out so zen and pleasant to look at when I sit down by my window facing all my plants on my patio. I knew I wanted to stay productive even more today as I started to feel a bit nostalgic about my breakup. I’m round of myself for staying present not thinking about the past and what’s done and staying also optimistic about the future and future relationships. I just wanted to share with you all a little blue wall! 🧿 #PTSD #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #DBT #Depression #oneforthebooks #Mindfulness #ColorTherapy

I "play" a "game" because by nature I am a very proficient cross-stitcher & beader! (I love all the colors projects require -I am OBSESSED with colors 🌈 & I really love the organization of it - as it feeds one of my many OCD's 😜)! However, I can't really do either right now due to aspects of my many mental illnesses poking their ugly heads here, & rearing them there, & causing an uproar all around...
I really love that you can "create" your own patterns to stitch. How fun & therapeutic it has ended up being! So here is one of the "created" ones I made & stitched around the beginning of the year.
Don't you love how colorful it is? I really like looking at this. I forgot how happy it makes me feel 🤓!
