Are You Feeling Blue?

Posted on by Brook Thornley

One of the top trend colors this season is BLUE. You can spread it through your life this trend season and it will bring peace and creativity.  You can use it in wardrobe, home interior, cooking and, most importantly, it is a great color to add to your self-care routine.

The color blue promotes introspection, and when we surround ourselves with it, it takes our thoughts all the way to the end of their true intention. It tends to block defenses and fear so we can finish a thought process in whatever way our particular thought process works.

Blue is also calming and is intangible. It can promote creativity in task, in artistry, and emotional creativity.

One trick you can use to enhance the power or experience of blue in your life is to couple it with orange. Orange will enhance the properties of the color blue. If it is accompanied by any orange it will boost the blue’s effect.

In your wardrobe you can add just a little orange to your blue through an accent. Remember the rule that the more intense the blue, the more subdued the orange should be, or vice-versa. You don’t want the two competing.

In your surroundings just make sure that there is more blue than orange to enhance the effects of the blue. Otherwise you will be enhancing the color orange and you will create the opposite effect.

So if you are “feeling blue,” go out and find ways to surround yourself with the color blue this season!

Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.

Peace on Earth Good Will Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint (Week 4)

Posted on by Brook Thornley

We are hours away from a Merry Christmas and we are all busy, hopefully spending time with loved ones and friends. Our wish at Human Art is that all your tasks are complete, and you are now spending quality time with those that are closest to you. Whether your tasks run into Christmas Day or not, it is a good time to take a break for a small minute and make spending time one of the tasks to check off your holiday list. It will benefit all those around you. If you need to slow down, then possibly make a few of the items on your list spending time with others this last couple of days before Christmas. Make it as much of a priority as a present or a dinner.

The Blackened design is known for this. It is steady in getting all of the tasks that need to be done lined up and accomplished. It brings them joy to see it all completed. So put quality time and being in the moment on your list so you can take in the holidays and be present for those you love. If we make it important, or a task, we will be more likely to do it and those are the things others will remember and will be lasting.

3 Things a Blackened Person Leaves with Us (Their Imprint):

Security
Hope
Stability

These are things that you cannot wrap up but are some of the best gifts you can give. It is a comfort or protection to those you spend your time with. Stop and evaluate how much time you have spent with your loved ones compared to how much time you desire to spend with each of them and make sure they line up. It will enhance your holiday experience.

Remember everyone is a masterpiece.

Peace on Earth Good Will Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint (Week 3)

Posted on by Brook Thornley

Over the week I have seen many examples of people leaving their imprint. It shows up when they leave goodies on someone’s porch, when they carol, I even heard a Christmas message delivered in a way that illuminated that person’s personality traits that were very attractive and warm. I witnessed a couple entertaining friends with a song on a piano and even their interactions with each other were so sweet and charming that it left an imprint of them as a couple on the entire group that night. It seems to come out at Christmas more than any other time of year. It lends itself to connections and reevaluating ourselves to see where we want to grow.

The Grayed person, or someone with a lot of Grayed in their design, is a great example of this kind of act or dynamic that leads to leaving their imprint on someone, because they value connection. They instinctively look for connections in all that they do.

Three Things a Grayed Person Leaves With Us (Their Imprint):

A Sense of Calm
Things to Ponder
A Feeling of Connection

These are great things to feel in our lives and also great things to bring into our lives. As we find ourselves on the doorstep of that great Christmas day, as we do our last minute errands, make one of those errands be to leave our imprint somewhere, and do it in a way that brings peace. It cannot help but enhance the Christmas season and make all those we encounter walk away better than when we got there. Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.

Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men: Leaving Our Imprint (week 2)

Posted on by Brook Thornley

As we talked last week about our individual imprint that we leave when we interact with others, it got us all thinking here at Human Art this week. We have had many discussions on how others might experience our personality, or in simple terms, what affect we have on others. We dove deeper into that concept and we became very curious as to how we leave people feeling when they experience our personality or design. It occurred to us that our design could be experienced in a positive or a negative way, depending on how we use it to interact with others. It became very important to us that we used our design to leave peace, wherever we had the chance to interact with someone. That is especially important to us at Christmas time. “Good will towards men.”

The Whitened person is a master at that when they are interacting in their authenticity. They love it when everyone is happy, so they are drawn to positivism and to upbeat interactions. They seem to share a desire to leave others in a happier state when they interact with them.

3 Things a Whitened Person Leaves With Us When They Serve Us (Their Imprint):
Lightheartedness
Belonging
Enrolling

As we find ourselves in the middle of the holiday season it is great to give gifts and provide activities, but make sure some of the gifts are small acts of kindness in that Whitened way. To the degree that you have Whitened in your design or personality, is the degree you will want to serve in this way. It is a great way to serve others at this Christmas time.

Remember, everyone is a masterpiece.
