Between the very real anxiety about escalating energy costs, devastating world events and the rising rate of inflation it is small wonder that there is an all-pervading air of doom and gloom everywhere we look. However, It is so important for all of us to find ways of filling our own energy banks before we set out to offer our support to anyone else.
But if a digital detox sounds like it belongs in the ‘too hard’ box, there is another simple thing we can all do today to make a real change to our mood and lift our spirits and it’s as simple as making a different choice in the morning.
Every Autumn the world around us changes colour and we are surrounded by gold, russet and bronze everywhere we look. Despite this abundance of hue how many of us stand in front of our wardrobes in the morning and reach for bright and uplifting colour?
If you are anything like me, Autumn and Winter is characterised by various shades of black with the occasional grey or brown. Elegant as those tones may be, they rarely do anything at all to boost our mood.
Colour therapy has been around for a long time and has been shown to be effective in altering mood and lifting spirits. Wouldn’t this be a brilliant time to try it? I firmly believe that you will be amazed by the impact of choosing a splash of colour to brighten up the day as well as all the grey and the black.
