Replenish Your Energy With a Pop of Color Reader!

March’s vibrant greens and pops of yellows, pinks, and reds are all reminders that spring is upon us! March is National Color Therapy Month. Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is based on the idea that exposure to various colors and colored lights may help improve physical and mental health.

Everyone has their own subconscious response to different colors that can positively impact our lives in various ways…

Stress Management: Color therapy helps you decrease the impacts of stress through mood-boosting properties.

Decreased Seasonal Affective Disorder Symptoms: Color therapists focus on using colors to elevate depleted dopamine levels during the winter season.

Improved Sleep: Chromotherapy can help individuals identify specific colors that make them feel more relaxed at night, thus positively impacting their sleep patterns.

Energy Rejuvenation: Bright colors can help a person feel more rejuvenated because these increase mental brain activity.

Reduced Anger: Color therapy creates environments that elicit calm and happiness rather than aggression, helping to reduce anger.

​
​Here are some ways to add color therapy to your wellness journey!

Get Outdoors: Natural colors are serene and inviting. Furthermore, green hues have grounding attributes, allowing an increased connection with yourself and your environment.

Limit Artificial Blue Light: Artificial blue light decreases serotonin levels. By limiting exposure to blue light, you may notice a change in your overall mood and energy levels.

Tap Into Your Creative Side: You can better understand how specific colors impact you by tapping into your creativity by starting a passion project or joining art groups or workshops.

Create a Colorful Living Space: Infuse your home with colors that promote relaxation and positivity. Consider using accent pieces, such as throw pillows, rugs, or artwork, to introduce various hues into your living space.

Wear Mood-Boosting Colors: Choose clothing in colors that align with your desired mood or energy level for the day. Wearing uplifting colors can positively impact your mindset and how you approach daily challenges.
