Everyone Needs A Yellow Sofa

Dear reader, I am going to write and e-book. Yes, I know, it’s odd, why would one write an e-book and not a proper book, I always wondered that too. Now I think differently as an e-book is easily available through our mobile devices so I will be closer to you in a short cut way. I have been thinking to find a direct, uncomplicated way to inspire people to look at how we live. Why we choose what we choose and how it influences our life.

If we focus more on the way we live, put more attention to our space, we will also attend to ourselves better as the two elements mirror one another. We are inevitably linked to our space, we reflect it and it reflects us. In whatever state our space is tells clearly what state we are in. Space offers the possibility to look at what we do, when, where and how we do it, which gives us a chance to revaluate our life, helping to find a way out of the usual rut, should that be something we long for. Pace is pragmatic, it shows what issues need our attention, a dripping tap, a light switch not working, a patch of mould in the dark or forgotten boxes under the stairway and much more. These things influence the flow of our life at large, so to support ourselves, all need to be sorted. Very often something as simple as a clean-out of a cupboard, kitchen unit or other, will give us an emotional push. A bit of attention and focus is needed to help find a new angle, suddenly offering a solution to a situation, helping a better outcome.

When we get more astute observing our space, giving it the care it deserves, we feel more balanced and supported, more relaxed and therefore more open to be daring to pursue our dreams.

When setting up home, it takes attention and care to decide on furniture. Most of us start with the sofa, as a sofa is the main anchor in a living room. It symbolises so much how we perceive ourselves so this anchor sets the tone for all other elements.

We much prefer neutral coloured sofas, why? No idea. Maybe because they tend to be big pieces so seemingly neutrality is preferred, or one is not sure how to set the anchor point in the room, therefore better be mild with the choice. We often let magazines or family and friends choose, not choosing ourselves at all. This needs to change. With the awareness of space and how we can interact with it, we also become more aware of ourselves, our needs and aspirations. It opens possibilities to move forward in life instead of merely staying in the zone of comfortable dwelling. Once we have started to become more aware of our space and how it makes us feel, we want more of the feel-good factor.

So why not break the mould and go for a brightly coloured sofa, something that lifts our heart when we come home, something the inner child would love to have, a pink, green, lilac or why not fabulous yellow sofa? It offers us a personal sense of being, free from others judgement about our choices and so allows us to be happy on our own terms, no matter what. It makes us strong and independent and that is how we start to shine brighter.

It is magical to experience what kind of tour through life a yellow sofa is able to take us. Not only will the bright colour enliven our senses, raise our attention about the necessity of our wellbeing and inspire to be able to reach our bigger potential. It opens up the doorway for new ideas about the way we look at things. Help us focus on goals, staying enthused, driving energy levels. All this is necessary if we want to live a life of purpose, actively chosen by us, instead drifting along, merely fulfilling the needs and expectations of others. The yellow sofa will take us by the hand and remind us to look at life from a different angle, choose a different book, not watch TV in our spare time but instead go to the cinema or enjoy a concert, buy new music or just listen to the birds we have not known for years that they even exist.

You see, a yellow sofa holds many keys, able to open doors to the unexpected corridors of our mind and heart, leading to pathways of new adventures, understanding, rediscovering, or simply offering a sense of balance and peace. And the moment of now holds the power to change our outcome of tomorrow. It all lines up beautifully and I am happy to share it with you in my coming E-book.

We only have our life to live, so choose with gusto and make your heart sing. A yellow sofa is a good first step embracing the joy for everyday.
