Joy of Travel. Episode #1. Six Colors Of Inspiration From Travel Is Never Short with Amazing.1/14/2024  Everywhere in the world is embracing the vibrant of color. I love traveling to explore the beauty of nature, culture, and the coloring of life. Have you ever wondered how colors affect our mood? They can influence our emotions and reactions to our environment. What is your favorite color? 1. Passion Red For Adventure Color: Red Sceneries: Ayers Rock, flamenco dance, lava flow on the Big Island in Hawaii Red is a color that has multiple connotations. It is often associated with passion, assertiveness, and romance. However, it can mean danger or threat, as seen in the color of a fire engine or the stop signal. When you desire something that carries a certain amount of risk and danger, it becomes challenging to pursue. After all, nothing in this world is guaranteed. William Feather once said, "Adventure is exhilarating and enjoyable, but it can also bring fear and uncertainty." To get the most out of life, view it as an adventure. The question is, do you have the courage to follow your intuition and pursue what you desire? Fear is not something to hold you back but rather to dance with. Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go (quoted from T.S Eliot) We almost always have made choices that have left us disconnected from ourselves and our true passions. Those choices are usually safe, practical, and earn us the approval of others. What is your choice? Backpack or Samsonite. 2. What Do You Think Green Nature Can Do For You? Color: Green Sceneries: Bibury cottages, Giethoorn in Netherlands, Amazon jungle, mountain towns in Switzerland How does the color green make you feel? I associate it with hope, peace, security, and a calming effect. Have you ever felt exhausted and overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of city life? Airing out your house by adding flowers and plants is a simple way to make yourself feel better. Sometimes, it's good to walk along a riverside and enjoy the smell of green. The natural fragrance from trees and flowers can awaken your subconscious senses and remind you of the good things happening around you. What do you think nature can do for you? It happens to provide healing power to replenish your energy for creativity. The beauty of nature has the magic to inspire your wheel of thinking to find more creative ways to solve your problem. Where is your favorable scenery to feel the tranquility of green nature? 3. Yellow Sunshine. Brighten Up Your Day To Become Wonderful Color: Yellow Sceneries: daffodils, sunrise and sunset, summer yellow flowers While some people see yellow as associated with sunshine, light, hope, happiness, and wisdom, others would like to label yellow with decay, old, sickness, and dullness (like yellow tree leaves, old books, and papers). What does it all mean? You decide. How we see the world is more important than how the world is. Susan is my friend who told me she hated yellow as it seems like sickness and dullness. She hates growing old and dislikes to mention her age. Are younger people happier than older people? My mom is 70 years old and always feels the wisdom of her years. She always has a story to tell and has little to worry about jobs and responsibilities. One day, I asked my mom if she was worried about getting older. She replied, "Yes, I am old, but that doesn't matter. I am happy with my life right now." It is up to you to view the world, whether as bright and sunny as yellow sunshine or as dreary and dark as decaying leaves. 4. Don't Turn "White" Thinking To Become Cold Feeling Color: White Sceneries: Santorini islands, Antequera city in Spain, South Pole, snow The color of white gives us a feeling of purity, cleanliness, safety, perfection, and innocence. I love the white color Cycladic houses in Santorini that are so beautiful to become one of the hottest destinations for honeymoon. In Eastern culture, white is a symbol of death and mourning. White is also associated with cold feelings with snow, ice, and winter. Living in an icy place is not uncommon, but feeling cold in a relationship with your loved ones does matter. Some people are too aggressive in dealing with others to discuss every issue. This kind of person is wearing the white hat of thinking (refer to "Six Thinking Hats" written by Edward de Bono) and relies on facts and information to make the analysis or justify his points so that he thinks he is always right. What is the point even if you win an argument but damage the relationship with your loved one? 5. Openness to Blue Ocean and Sky Color: Blue Sceneries: Smurf village and hotel, Hawaiian surfing, Great Barrier Reef What color is your mood right now? You want to get away from the blue mood (melancholy). The Smurfs (comic characters) are blue with happy faces. They have nothing to do with gloom. Blue is associated with the ocean and sky to embrace openness and caring. Openness reflects the appreciation for curiosity, adventure, unusual ideas, and imagination over a strict routine. Be open to new ideas. If you limit yourself to what you were comfortable with earlier in your life, you will grow increasingly frustrated with your surroundings as you age. Many of us might not take on new things to think we don't have the skills. The good news is that almost everything is learnable. Are you ready to learn and make a leap into the unknown?  © Suttipon | Dreamstime.com 6. Brown Earth Remind Our Ethnic Heritage Color: Brown Sceneries: Cesky Krumlov, Giza pyramids, earth and wood The color of brown elicits the earth and the wood. The brown earth color may trigger your sense of nostalgia. Sometimes, we feel lost in this big and complex world. We feel comfort in knowing our ethnic heritage. It gives you a history, a sense of place, and uniqueness about who you are, where you came from, and how you fit into the world. Everyone is not the same even though "we live in a time of mass-produced everything" (such as watching the same films, dressing the same fashions, using the same electronic devices). Through the travel experience, you will feel amazing to explore the cultural differences, remind us to respect other cultures, and inspire us to think about and celebrate our ethnicity.
