Calm
“In calmness lies true pleasure.”
V I C T O R H U G O
Soft, soothing and tranquil, like the sky or a calm sea, light blue is the colour of Calm.
Calm is unplugging and unwinding.
It’s closing the door on the world, taking your foot off the pedal, reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee, having a bubble bath, meditating, spending time in nature, doing yoga, doing nothing, daydreaming, shutting the laptop, switching off the phone, do-not-disturb. Ahhh.
Calm gives your brain the chance to slow down, make sense of your experiences and recharge its reserves of concentration and motivation so you’re at our best.
Without enough mental downtime, your well-being can take a hit - you may become irritable, anxious, and overwhelmed, make more mistakes, neglect self-care, or even burn out, which is your body's way of saying you've pushed too far.
