I am a mom and I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for ways to increase my energy
I have tried or I do all the common methods
Drinking more water, taking Vitamin B12, getting more sunlight, and more
But what about color?
We know that color affects our minds greatly
But can it actually increase our energy?
Colors can increase your energy and they can increase other factors that affect energy. Red is the color of passion and can increase your attentiveness, which also increases your energy. Neon colors and bright colors can also increase your energy.
Colors greatly affect you every day
You focus more and have more energy in a bright room than you do in a dark room
Neon colors get the brain excited
You can feel the difference in energy between light pink and dark pink if you pay attention
So not only does the color affect your energy, but also the shade of each color
What affects our energy levels every day?
Colors affect how we interact with the world
Companies use colors to make us feel things
For example, Whole Foods uses green to connect them with health
Or McDonald’s uses yellow to connect them to happiness
They go one step closer and make their symbol a happy face and their kid’s meal a happy meal
Darkness makes us feel more on edge when we go places like a dark room
Offices are white and brightly lit to reduce distraction and keep focus
Red lipstick is added to sexy outfits because red creates passion and draws attention
The ocean is calming with the blue water and often blue sky
Color is constantly affecting us in ways that most of us don’t understand
But we can also use color to increase the chances of what we want to come to us
That is the foundation is color magick
Using color to affect the world the way they are meant to, but strategically so we get the end we want
What do colors do to our energy?
In addition to colors affecting our thoughts, feelings, and moods…
Colors can definitely affect our energy
This is what I mainly wanted to explore because I could always use more energy!
There is even color therapy so we know its possible
You can use colors in your home to increase your energy while at home
But that is more permanent
You can also choose what to wear every day that will help you with your energy
Blue is often connected to calm, peace, and stability
Even though it is calming, a light blue will give you energy
It will likely be a calming blue energy
Keep in mind that personal experiences may change how colors affect us
I love red now, but I avoided it for years and reacted negatively due to personal experience
So if a color doesn’t affect you the way it affects others, that is completely normal
It is our job to test things and see what works best for us
Yellow is connected to happiness and optimism
It is a common color to use if you need a boost
I don’t have any yellow clothes but I will use yellow in the inner corners of my eye makeup
Colors can also affect how others see you
Wearing black will make others see you as more powerful and professional
While wearing brown will make you seem more reliable
I had a grey jacket for interviews for a long time
But that isn’t ideal for job interviews
Grey makes you seem neutral and quiet
In the future, I would want brown or black
What colors increase our energy?
To understand what colors increase our energy, we first need to know what kind of energy you are trying to increase
Energy is a broad term
You may want more motivation, excitement, or passion
Each of those are connected to a different color
Here are some colors and what they are connected to:
- Blue: Loyalty, tranquility, stability
- Red: Passion, aggression, intensity
- Yellow: Happiness, optimism, youth
- Green: Healing, success, hope
- Black: Power, professionality, mystery
- Purple: Royalty, spirituality, luxury
- Brown: Stability, natural, reliability
- Orange: Energy, fun, warmth
- White: Purity, cleanliness, innocence
- Grey: Neutral, practicality, quietness
How can you add these colors to your life?
There are many ways that you can add color to your life
Think about all the things in your life that already have color
Your clothes, accessories, makeup, home, car, documents, lights, and more all have color
So think about how you can use the color in all those things to be more intentional
You can add plants to your office
That brings green to the space that encourages peace and growth
You can have a light pink shirt for when you need some soft self-love
If you want to have more confidence, wear a red outfit or red lipstick
Keep your professional clothes brown or black
If you want to feel more neutral in a situation, wear grey
The possibilities for using color in your life are endless!
I use a lot of brown in my home because it helps give a sense of belonging and reliability
I have a blue and purple veil that I wear when I need more calm energy and wisdom
That usually gets put on when my kids are being extra difficult!
Of course, there is also color magick
Everything I have been talking about counts as color magick
It is the use of color to attract what you want and manipulate a situation slightly
But there are more uses for color in color magick too because you are adding in spells, rituals, and more
