colour HACKS
Spring is now here although the temperature remains cool and is likely to continue to fluctuate until April. We should expect some cool days until Summer, but can delight in the spring like atmosphere and early flowering bulbs and plants. It might be a good time to reflect how 2025 has gone for us so far and consider if there is anything we can develop as we continue into the warmer months.
Spring generally reminds us of newness and rebirth. Many animals wake up from winter hibernation as we do psychologically at least, as the days are longer and we don't have to contend with prolonged darkness. The chemical Serotonin found in our brains increases contributing to healthy more fuller and invigorating thoughts and happiness. People are more likely to reaffirm or introduce new vows in the Spring such as marriage or baptisms.
The change also helps us to facilitate improved sleep as well as energy levels and not forgetting youths who embrace this time of year with festivals. I read once that people born in May are more successful in their choices in life!
Equally, we tend to invite colours such as yellow into our lives in Spring and are often seen buying daffodils or possibly tulips. Yellow is a colour associated with fun, radiance, the sun and inspiration and energy. Organisations often use the colour all year round to help reinforce success. Trophies or certificates are often found with yellow somewhere in their design.
We can optimise and embrace and train our mindset by drawing on this season and reinforce the uniqueness of us. A good idea is to embrace and hold on to, is telling yourself about your own beauty. Establish a good sleep pattern; recite the love we have for the season and absorb the warm & vibrancy of yellow. Remember not to over do the colour however as it can lead to over confidence which can be confusing to others, so keep it low key such as wearing a pale yellow top as opposed to a bold yellow if your seeking employment or do not want to stand out.
Violets and pale blues compliment yellow well when choosing clothing, whilst yellow in the kitchen can often work with different shades of yellow or earth colours such as sage. Yellow peppers will compliment this further in our diet.
As this page exemplifies, continue to fill up your thoughts and emotions past and present with positive and regular self affirmations. Remember to tell yourself of what you want to achieve and believe it is happening right now. We often become the thoughts we invite into our lives, but are blessed with an opportunist mindset to decide what we keep or don't keep. Take care of your breathing and enjoy this most beautiful yellow-full time of the year!
Love!
