Jump Start Your Creativity

"It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!"

 
 

My niece is obsessed with the movie Frozen. She sings all of the songs and reenacts most of the scenes. Her 2015 Halloween costume is Ana.

Needless to say, I have the song "Let It Go" memorized and find myself singing it randomly while cleaning or even walking around the mall - the people at the mall tend to stare when I sing it out loud.

I definitely sing along with my niece! "Sing Aunty Victoria. Sing!" I don't really have a choice.

This design reminds me of Frozen which is why I chose to name it "Let It Go and Color." Coloring frees from the mind from the worries and pressures of life because it takes your focus away from reality to a world of creativity. When I think of how relaxing coloring books help people jump start their creativity, I think of the this line from the song:

"It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
no right, no wrong, no rules for me. I'm free!"

The song encompasses the feeling of freedom that coloring books offer as well as the excitement of creating something of your own.

Elsa was freed from her worries. Now it is time to be free from yours. Let's color!

If you haven't seen Frozen, you should. It is a great Disney film.

I went ahead and included the lyrics, just in case you want to sing while coloring.

 

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I'm the queen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried!

Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know
Well, now they know!

Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!

I don't care
What they're going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!

It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all!

It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I'm free!

Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You'll never see me cry!

Here I stand
And here I'll stay
Let the storm rage on!

My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I'm never going back,
The past is in the past!

Let it go, let it go
When I'll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!

Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
