THE IMPORTANCE OF COLOUR IN OUR LIVES
COLOUR is more important in our lives than we sometimes realize.
From the time we get up in the morning when we decide what we will wear this day, to the time we go to bed in our bedroom where the décor on the walls and floors might decide how good our sleep will be, we are influenced by the colours on us and around us.
Look at the colour/colours that you are picking out to wear each day, as that can reflect what sort of mood you will have for that day. If you have chosen wisely your mood will be good for that day.
It also depends what you are be going to do today – if you have an important meeting or you are going for an interview – wearing red is great as it gives you confidence and you will project yourself well, but also be careful because it might make you speed in the car as your confidence soars.
If you need to be cool and calm for whatever reason, blue is very calming.
Also good when you are needing peace, solitude and rest, hence this is a good colour to have as your décor in your bedroom as it portrays a tranquil and peaceful environment.
Yellow is good when you are working to improve your concentration and staying alert.
Wearing orange can help the body return to a state of balance after shock or stress.
Green is a very healing colour, the colour of nature.
Violet and Purple should be worn when you need to rebalance your life, to calm hyperactivity or energise depression. Also to get more inspiration and be receptive to spiritual guidance.
Pink is to feel love, forgiveness and peace.
White brings a positive, refreshing and optimistic mindset and counteracts negative thinking.
Grey portrays quality, maturity, professionalism and neutrality.
Brown is good if you want to re-focus and get a down to earth attitude to portray yourself as a no nonsense and hard-working reliable person.
Wearing mostly black is an ‘easy colour to hide away in’. You can blend in and be accepted with a sense of dignity and mystery. You feel like you are in charge and powerful.

When you have picked your clothes for the next day, just stop and see what colours you have picked and look above and see what and how that can affect the day ahead, both for good or bad. You should go with the first choice you make as that will be the right one for you for that day.
Also, next time you are going to redecorate your house inside take very close notice of the colours you are going to pick as they are very important decisions to make for you and all of the occupants in your house for peace and harmony.
