I love what I have learnt in some tools I use to lower my distress. Usually I ground myself I have a turtle bracelet I hold and stare at. My colour is blue and sea green. Ocean colours soothe me. The five senses in sensory stimuli affects you and how you can feel. I learnt. I had a sensory assessment done. Very useful. Mine was I had to be around colour probsbly the artist in me. Lol!

I love colour too Gypsy7, those sea greens and blues especially. Usually pastels but thought this pic was for you. Sometimes I put on those yellow night vision glasses. They brighten everything. call them my 'happy glasses' (colour therapy). Great thread idea. 👍🌷🌿

Wow @Gypsy7 that is really interesting thank you for sharing, I also find green and blue very calming, that is why a walk through a park and just sitting and looking at the leaves and taking in the fresh air calms me down. Or the ocean, it will always help.
I also have some photographs in my house that tend to help me calm down as they are of nature, like the blue sky and the desert. I might have to start painting those colours to see how that goes 🙂

Hi @Gypsy7,
My favourite colour is blue. I super love being near water - especially the ocean. Of course, that could be because I am a sea turtle.

Hi @Gypsy7, I think I am similar to the others, I love the colours of the ocean. From turquoise to green, to brilliant blue. I find different blue green shades both energising and calming.

Hi @Gypsy7
I love colour. My favourite colour is orange, lime green and yellow. I always feel safe with blue (light bue from the bay) always feeling calm and peace when around the bay 🙂

Hi Im a newbie and hope you don't mind my silly comments but it got me thinking how much colour plays a role in our moods and well being. Greens and blues I like best because the sky is blue and so is the ocean so tranquility comes to mind when i think of this colour, whereas the trees and leaves are green this fills me with serenity especially when I'm really wired so it is a colour that soothes frazzled nerves.
