I believe strongly in the power of the mind. I spend a great deal of time talking to my students about how their thoughts are connected to their feelings which affect their behavior. It's a quite a cycle! I recently discovered SOMbands, which stands for "State of Mind" bands. I have to tell you I was instantly intrigued! I loved the quotes I read on their website:
"We can overcome life's most challenging obstacles by changing our state of mind"
"It's time to get out of your head and start living"
Lauren Jones, the creator of SOMbands, has designed wristbands and t-shirts that when worn, encourage a positive mood. The wristbands and t-shirts come in four different colors, each representing a different feeling or focus for the person wearing them. The colors (Red, Green, Yellow, & Blue) were chosen based upon research conducted in the past on how certain colors illicit certain feelings in people.

The colors (Red, Green, Yellow, & Blue) were chosen based upon research conducted in the past on how certain colors illicit certain feelings in people.
Here are the meanings for the four colors:
- RED gave the most universal associations of strength, vitality and activity. RED= passion, most attention, strength, energetic
- GREEN is a cool color that symbolizes nature and the natural world. It also represents tranquility, good luck, health, and jealousy. Green is often used in decorating for its calming effect.
- BLUE calls to mind feelings of calmness or serenity. It is often described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. It can also lower the pulse rate and body temperature.
- YELLOW has a dramatic effect of energizing you with 'happiness' vibes. Yellow= optimism, joy imagination, friendship, hope sunshine, summer
The wristbands ($5.99) and the t-shirts ($28.00) address PAIN, FEAR, HAPPINESS, & AGE.
They are based on the colors above.
Pain is just a state of mind
Fear is just a state of mind
Happiness is just a state of mind
Age is just a state of mind
I was very lucky to have the opportunity to review the Happiness is just a state of mind bracelet. I've worn it every day for the past week and it has been such a conversation starter with my students! Co-workers have asked about it and have loved the concept as well. It is really easy, as I'm sure most of you can agree, to get bogged down in the stress and chaos of family, work, maintaining the household, etc. I love wearing the reminder for me to "Get out of my head and start living". LOVE IT!!
