Whirlwinds and Watercolours: Inaaya's Unique Calm

Inaaya was a little girl with a whirlwind mind. Her thoughts were always rushing around in her head, making it hard for her to sit still or concentrate. It was like a big storm in her mind, with ideas and questions swirling around like leaves in the wind.

Her mum and teachers often told her to quiet her mind and focus, but Inaaya didn't know how. She tried to sit still, but her mind just kept on whirling.

One day, Inaaya's friend suggested that she try to find something that made her feel calm and peaceful. Inaaya thought and thought about what that could be. Then she remembered that she loved to paint.

Inaaya asked her mum if she could have some paints and paper. Her mum agreed, and Inaaya spent the whole afternoon painting. As she painted, she felt her mind slowing down. The swirling storm started to calm, and Inaaya felt peaceful and happy.

When she showed her painting to her mum, she smiled and said, "Inaaya, your painting is as unique as you are."

Inaaya didn't understand what "unique" meant, so her mum explained that it meant special and one-of-a-kind. Inaaya felt proud to be unique.

From that day on, whenever Inaaya's mind started to whirl, she would sit down and paint. She found that painting helped her to quiet her mind and focus on one thing at a time.

Inaaya also realized that everyone is unique in their own way. Just like her paintings, everyone has something special about them that makes them one-of-a-kind.

So, whenever Inaaya felt like her mind was a whirlwind, she would take a deep breath and remember that she was unique, just like her paintings. And that made her feel calm and happy.
