Welcome to Color to Declutter, a thoughtful collection of unique designs that will help bring your inner and outer worlds into alignment.
Before we get too deep into an ocean of reasons why coloring is as great for adults as it is for kids- let's not forget the biggest reason of all. It's fun! And compared to the prices of other forms of entertainment- it's cheap! Oh I could go on and on.... so I will!
Beyond delivering pure unbridled joy, the process of coloring is one of the best ways to get organized and stay organized. If done with intention, you can color your way to an organized home and uncluttered mind. Ok, there may be a few more steps involved, but once you start coloring, you'll see!
Each design in the pages that follow awaits your pen and pencils. As you color, you'll also develop your planning and strategizing skills. Included on each page is an essence word that represents the design. Think about and feel the meaning of the word while you bring your personal rainbow to each letter and water crystal. Getting in touch with your emotional and sensory awareness of these words will help you understand your connections to the objects or ideas you want to organize in your life. As you color, you can repeat the word in your head until you can feel it in your body. Knowing how you honestly feel about the things you surround yourself with is a very important part of the organizing process.
The Magic of Water Crystals
Your inner world creates your outer world and your outer world creates your inner world. Dr. Masaru Emoto experiments with this theory in his book, "The Hidden Messages of Water". In his studies with ice crystal formations, Dr. Emoto would expose containers of water to different sounds, pictures or words (verbal or thoughts). He showed water that was entrained with words like "peace", "gratitude", and "love" all formed intricate and symmetrical structural formations. When he used words representing hate and anger, the crystal formations would be off balance, malformed or broken. Like the concepts Emoto poses, the words, thoughts, memories, images and noises in your environment will undoubtedly have an effect on your internal structure.
How does this relate to you? Think about the objects in your home as words. What words are they? Are they loving, kind and compassionate? Or are they the type of words that create structural disharmony? Letting go of items that don't support your internal snowflake may even rewire your memories of the past!
