This color feels 'super soft'. 'Soft' as in, not giving any 'resistance'. Yet, in its core, there is a point that 'stands'. A solid point that is unshakeable and almost 'rigid' even. So it's kind of just the appearance of being 'super soft' and super pliable, while actually being quite rigid and 'uptight' in a way. Rigid, uptight and strict with regards to 'how things ought to be'. Being very 'precise' and specific and particular, with a very clear point of direction in mind. And then being very 'unmovable' or unpersuadable to consider any different way.

Almost like having too much faith in yourself and in how you see things. Too much faith that the direction you are seeing is the 'right' one - the 'only' one. Being very 'head-strong'. As in, when you decide on something in your head, you will not consider ANYTHING ELSE. Then it is just a 'done deal'. Then not God or the Devil can make you change your mind.

And it's at the same time a very 'soft' color, because you know that you don't need to put up a fight, and you know that you can just relax. Whatever decision you've made on whatever direction, it is done. And it is final. There's no going back on your decision, no changing your mind, no wavering, no doubting, no second-guessing, no uncertainty. You just stand absolute within your decision. It is such an absolute standing, that you can allow yourself to be completely 'soft'. Because at this point it doesn't matter what happens. You don't need to give any resistance to anything. You don't need to put up a fight, or defend or protect. Because no matter what, it is done. Your decision STANDS.

It is such a simple point, yet so powerful. And its power exists within its absolute simplicity. Within its effortlessness and within the fact that there is no fighting or resisting involved. It's frighteningly powerful, even. Because the absolute 'softness' also reveals the absolute standing. You can allow yourself to be completely soft because you know that you stand equally completely. 

Because you know that's all that matters. What matters is not all the things that happen in your life. The circumstances and situations. So don't let yourself be persuaded by that. What matters is the 'inner you', and where you 'stand'. What decisions you live and who you decide to be. As long as that is FIRM, you can just relax and be 'soft' with regards to anything else in your life.

Just focus on your CORE, and pay no heed to the 'circumstances' of your life. It's just that, 'circumstantial'. Don't put up a fight, and don't resist. Just keep your eyes on what's important and what matters, which is who you are inside. 

In a way this color also kind of looks like what the inside of your eyelids look like when you close them. Because that is what you in a way proverbially need to do here. Just close your eyes and don't look at your external, circumstantial, situational reality. What matters is 'in here'. So close your eyes, take a breath, place your hand on your chest and remind yourself "what matters is in here", and let go of anything else. As long as your core stands, you are living exactly what and how you should be living. 

And when you find yourself getting lost in worrying about what's going on in your life, again take that breath, close your eyes and remind yourself "what matters is in here". You want to be able to completely let go of 'everything', and have only you 'stand' within and as yourself. Seeing and recognizing nothing as important, other than 'you'. With the world sort of falling away and disappearing, and all that exists is you inside yourself. With nothing but just the decision of who you are.

So find ways in which you can practice this point. Give yourself moments wherein you can completely let go and bring all your focus to who you are internally. Where you can be by yourself and just close your eyes and breathe. Doesn't have to be much. It's just a simple point. But it would definitely be supportive, to have just those small reminders here and there. It's those 'small' moments of application wherein you remind yourself of the decision you're living of 'who you are'.
