A little colour therapy-Today's Inspiration

TYRER SHARPLES

Today's inspiration for me was a little colour therapy. I was simply inspired by an outfit one of my girlfriends was wearing during her workout session at the gym. When I looked at her she was beaming with confidence, happiness and overall  wellness…it made me think of how color impacts me everyday from what I wear to what I eat and the surroundings I am in and wondered what it does for others?

It made me think that Colour is light of life….Without light there is no life

Thinking a little deeper as I was training myself made me realize colour could very well be the most magnificent experience we take for granted. Look around, it's everywhere, surrounding and embracing us. We interpret life as much through colour as we do shape, texture, sound and for some even smell and taste.

For me colour is the very essence of life as it can influence our emotions, our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. Even though much has been studied and written about color therapy and its impact on our daily lives for me its very simple I look at my surroundings and try to be inspired as colour touches every part of my daily activities from my meal prepping, my gym sessions and simply the things around me.

I haven’t studied the theories behind colour therapy but can share a little into what the basic meanings are so maybe others can relate their feelings and reactions to the colours that surround their life.

Here are some simple meanings of colours and the energies contained within. I am sure there are many versions with different definitions and meanings but this is what they mean to me most of the time…When I actually take the time to notice my surroundings.

Secondary Colours, Shades and Metals:

Pink symbolizes: love, beauty

Brown symbolizes: earth, order, convention

Orange symbolizes: vitality with endurance

Gold symbolizes: Wealth, prosperity, wisdom

  

White symbolizes: Purity, Cleanliness

Black symbolizes: Death, earth, stability

While white reveals, black conceals

Gray symbolizes: Sorrow, security, maturity

I guess the point I am trying to make is next time you put on your gym outfit take a little time and choose colour over the standard, whatever it may be. 

Be confident that colour will bring you happiness and further confidence and drive to reach your goals. It will not only make you feel better but inspire those around you as well.

This will be something I focus on as the New Year is just around the corner...Literally. Bring more colour to my life in 2013!!!
