Achieve Goals with Color Therapy

A spectrum of different wavelengths called vibrational frequencies from white light that is reflected. This frequency gives off a rainbow range of colors, starting with red on one end to blue on the other. These are the colors that we are all familiar with. In color therapy or chromatherapy, different colors are used for healing the imbalance of our bodies.

An example of how colors work with fitness:

When working out with yoga and relaxing exercises, the color of the room tend to be a cool color of blue, green or purple to give a calming effect on our bodies and mood. Warm colors are used for weights and strenuous exercises. These colors include orange, yellow and red.

Combine goal setting and positive thinking to colors for maximum achievement.

True success must be visualized in a positive way. Clear our mind of all negativity. Reading a book on goal setting and positive thinking is a good start in the right direction. Attract your life to things you do want. Start with step-by-step goals and work up for greater achievement. Add a splash of color to enhance the effect.

Setting goals and sticking with them is not always easy. First we need to set aside some private time where there is no interference from the TV, a dog barking, children or our work. Start writing realistic goals in baby steps. Take more steps each time.

Begin with a plan of action on how these goals will be achieved. Write each goal out. Exclude the words "I will" or "I want." These words represent things that have not yet happened. Envision your goal as something already achieved with positive affirmations.

1. I lost five pounds by the end of the week on (this date).

2. I exercise with two 30 minute workouts everyday.

3. I have eliminated extra sugar and salt to my food.

Envision a color that is soothing, calm and energetic. Add a color that will help you achieve your goal, then highlight your written goal and post it on your refrigerator. In color therapy, different colors have different meanings. Green is the color of health. Green could stimulate your brain into eating more leafy vegetables. Remember that all goals need to be broken down in how you plan to work on it. How are you going to get more fit? What exercises will you be doing?

This same Plan of Action can be applied to any goal. Independent wealth, trip to Hawaii, physical and emotional health or writing a book can be part of your resolution for this year.
