Perk up your Christian mindfulness by paying attention to one particular color for a day. The steps are easy and often improve your mood.

1. Pick a primary color.
2. Consciously look for the color as you move intentionally through the day.
3. Enjoy all the shades and variations of the color.
4. Note how it appears in nature.
5. Praise God for color and for that color in particular.

This exercise also could be part of a nature walk, forest bathing (silent walking through a wooded area with mindfulness and deep breathing) or a gratitude walk (in which you thank God for every thing you see that you feel gratitude for). It’s a nice exercise for kids as well.

My color today is blue. What’s yours?
