It’s Monday of the New Year. We invite you to stop scrolling. Breathe. Take a moment to mindfully welcome in 2022. ✨ In a hustle-always culture, it's often difficult to press pause. As you set goals for the year ahead, remember to carve out time for yourself to simply sit with your thoughts and breathe. We designed this “square breathing” animation in the 2022 @pantone color of the year, Very Peri. This hue embodies carefree confidence and a daring curiosity that animates our creative spirit and opens us up to a new vision as we embrace a new year. As we look toward what's next, take a moment to be present. Cheers to a daring, curious, creative year ahead! #pantone #coloroftheyear #mindfulness #squarebreathing
