Everyone Needs a Colorful Life
Color
can inspire us, improve our self-esteem, bring us joy, serenity,
contentment and pleasure with life. The colors that surround you can
recharge your energy, help you relax or deplete your stress-coping
abilities. Whether we're consciously
aware of it or not, we use the power and energy of color to bring beauty
to ourselves and our environment. The colors we choose, our
favorite colors and their unique color properties, or personalities, can assist us in keeping
our emotions in balance, our minds active and our bodies healthy.
What's Your Favorite Color?
 Pay attention to the colors around you,
especially those you tend to be drawn to. What colors do you choose for
your jewelry, accessories, clothing, home or work environment? Color
has such a subtle effect on us that we seldom give it much thought. However, becoming aware of your reactions, emotions and attraction to
specific colors can indicate much about you.
In need of a little attitude adjustment? Do you prefer one color
over another? We are drawn to the colors that are needed to create
balance in our lives. The energy of color impacts our health, emotions
and thought processes. When we become more aware of the power of color,
we can help to transform our health and well-being. By altering the
colors that surround you, it is possible to clear negative energy,
restore balance, improve your emotional state and enhance your quality
of life!
