AN AGRICULTURAL THEMEThe theme of your Affirmation Coloring and Activity book was especially created to focus on YOU and the natural world around you. Your Affirmation Coloring and Activity book is a part of the Cultivating SEEDS System(TM) (CSS(TM)) developed by Dr. Yvonne Larrier.
Nature is universal and each one of us has free access to enjoy it, learn from it and experience it through our five senses. Similarly, this author wants everyone to have access to this RUMERTIME Affirmation Coloring and Activity book so they can enjoy, learn and experience the strategies and skills taught in this book.
EVERYTIME is RUMERTIMEYour Affirmation Coloring and Activity book can be used at home, before bedtime, when you wake up, on lunch breaks, during family mealtimes, at church, school, morning meetings, mindfulness activities, meditation moments, work, play, as a psychosocial prevention/intervention strategy, after-school programs, summer camps, and many other diverse settings and situations.
ORGANIZATION OF BOOKMultimodal Approach (multiple avenues)
The natural world has multiple avenues for creative expressions and revealing its make-up and its relationship with other living things. Likewise, this book provides you with multiple avenues for expression, reflection and opportunities to reveal your intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships with yourself, others and situations.
AFFIRMATIONSThese are positive phrases that when you repeat regularly they can help you to become the best version of yourself. In this book you get to reinforce these positive phrases through coloring.
COLORING The act of coloring activates multiple areas of your brain and encourages you to engage your hands or feet (in some cases) and your senses of sight and touch. It gives you the opportunity to create pictures in the way you envision them in your mind. The colors you choose are neither good, nor bad, right nor wrong, they are your imaginations set free.
DRAWINGThe act of drawing is another avenue for self-expression. It provides you with an opportunity to tell your story without judgment. It allows you to find a safe space for healthy expression and organized reflection as you move toward inter and intrapersonal balance.
FREE STYLE JOURNALINGWriting is an effective tool that helps you to Recognize and Understand your thoughts and emotions. It is a readily accessible and easy way to Manage, Express and Reflect on your Thoughts, Interactions, Mindsets and Emotions without being judged.
GUIDED JOURNALINGThe RUMERTIME Process has five steps which in the Cultivating SEEDS System(TM) we call Plots (RUMER). Each Plot consists of four Rows (TIME). These Plots and Rows have prompt statements and questions to help you effectively relate to self, others, and situations so that you can successfully navigate interpersonal and intrapersonal challenges and thus live the best version of your life.
