The world is full of beautiful colors…
However, as it turns out, colors are not just pleasing to our eyes, but also have a healing effect on the body. Color therapy is a method of alternative medicine that is used to treat both physical and mental illnesses.
Experts are of the opinion that the absence of certain colors in everyday life can be the cause of depression.
Thus,specialists in chromotherapy have identified several colors that have a beneficial effect on overall well-being, but also help a lot in overcoming spring depression.
Red is a color that brings cheerfulness, activity, and energy.
Red is a color that relieves melancholy, depression and eliminates negative emotions. If you feel weak or hesitate to start doing some important, but at the same time quite difficult work, look at something red, and it will give you energy and help you get started. If you get tired quickly and want to sleep all the time, buy a red blanket, put red flowers in a vase, put a red tablecloth on the table or have a red diary. Such bright spots in the house will improve your mood, increase efficiency and give strength.
Be careful not to overdo with red: too much of this color around can increase pressure, fatigue, anger and aggression.
Orange is a color that can help you overcome depression.
It improves mood, stimulates work activity and is not as tiring as red. This color helps to cope with bad moods during hormonal changes in women.
Loss of appetite is one of the aspects of spring depression, and orange color successfully copes with this. It stimulates your appetite, and food is easier to digest. Therefore, in early spring, it is better to eat from bright, sunny dishes. Orange plates will improve appetite and will make the taste sensations more intense.
Yellow prevents the development of depression.
Yellow color fights apathy very well and perfectly relieves drowsiness. It activates creative energy, increases concentration, improves memory and the ability to quickly absorb information, and gives clarity of thought. It encourages you to go somewhere, to travel. An excellent color for the prevention of depression. If, for example, orange helps to get out of depression, yellow prevents its development.
Yellow and orange are the best colors for getting rid of depression – the colors of the sun, joy and a positive attitude. Of course yellow or orange walls are ideal for the room where you spend most of your time, but few people would want to change the wallpaper just to get over the springtime depression. In this case you could use the visualization method – close your eyes for a few minutes and imagine that you are painting the room in sunny colors with an imaginary brush. And then "sit" in that room until you feel that your condition is improving.
Green gives tranquility and peace, helps to concentrate and make decisions.
This color is the most harmonious and balanced of all the colors of the universe. It is an emotional indicator – if the balance of the color green is out of balance, heart pain may occur.
Since green helps get rid of negative feelings, turn to it during tumultuous periods of life, it will calm and cool your emotions.
- Blue eliminates intrusive thoughts and severe nervous attacks.
This color evokes a sense of calm and balance. It encourages reflection and reminds you to rest.
Different shades of blue are used by chromotherapists to treat depression and physical pain.
Darker shades of blue are also thought to have a sedative effect, so they are especially useful for people who suffer from insomnia.
So many people suffer from insomnia and do not know that they should read at night under a blue lampshade, then sleep will not be delayed.
Thus, a blue carpet, blue curtains or blue chandelier in the bedroom will help you relax after a day of work and give you a quick and deep sleep.
Purple is the color of creative people.
This color is quite calm and does not bring much attraction to work, perhaps only creative. A purple dress, a painting with irises on the wall, purple candles, the smell of lavender, tea with the addition of sage flowers, a purple cup – all this will add mystery and depth to your life. This will help you see the essence of events and discover new abilities in yourself. But be very careful with this color, because its prolonged exposure can cause melancholy and deepen depression.
Color therapy will certainly help you find balance, improve your health and achieve inner harmony.
Take care of yourself, diversify your life, fill it with colors and emotions, and you will see that the spring will bring you happiness.
