Yves Klein is a painter who wanted to focus on one thing in his work as an artist, namely to paint a single color. He picked the color blue and eventually created a shade of blue no one had ever seen before. It’s called the “International Klein Blue.”
We find strength and purpose when we focus on one single objective. Which raises a great question, what if we focused on just one emotion? For example, peace, contentment, or joy.
And what if we made that emotion our “color” for a day and returned to that color, that emotion, whenever possible.
One trick to keep that focus is to align a color (blue, green, orange) with the emotion we seek to experience. Meaning, as we go about our day every time we see that color we remind ourselves to nurture and to find that emotion inside of us.
In other words, we seek to live like Yves Klein – one color with one emotion.
