Color Everywhere

Color is a form of energy.

This energy affects us both physically and emotionally. From packaging in the products we buy to the color of suit and tie a lawyer wears, color is used all over in our world to influence us.

Below is a list of colors, their meanings, and suggestions on using them:

Red.
It’s known for being a "power color".
In small amounts it can promote positive thinking. On the other hand, too much of a good thing can create irritability, nervousness, stress and even anger.
Use a red appointment book to emphasize your importance in the world.

Orange.
Lifts your spirit.
Creates vitality.
Can be a great antidepressant.
Try a glass of fresh orange juice in the morning to get a peppy start on the day.

Yellow.
The color of happiness.
This color creates an optimistic attitude.
Good for helping make decisions.
Can't make up your mind? Use a yellow legal pad to list pros and cons.

Green.
Lowers stress and gives a feeling of comfort.
Add some more plants to your home or office.
If you are a serial plant murderer like myself, fake ones will work! ;o)

Blue.
Relaxes the body and opens the mind.
Be a kid again sometime and lie in the grass and watch the sky.

Purple .
The color of royalty.
Promotes self confidence.
Also the color of passion.
Buy yourself or the love in your life a bouquet of Freesia.

Don't go overboard.

Sometimes too much of a good thing can have ill effects.
