In a previous post I wrote about how painting my nails yellow had an unexpected effect on my mood. It was instantly uplifting and energizing. I don’t really know why this surprised me. We all know that different colors create different moods and other physiological changes and can be healing in many ways. In the post, I jokingly mentioned that next time you paint your nails you may want to consider what effect that color may have on you. Pink to feel feminine, Red to feel passionate, and Blue for a calming effect. When my daughter went to have her nails done the other day, she went in not knowing what color she wanted. She looked at the colors and chose blue. Coincidence? She is a senior in high school, in several school clubs, just started her first job, and prepping for college applications. She has a lot going on. I truly believe that this color called out to her because she needed some calming in her life. Sometimes we are so busy that we don’t realize little things like this when they happen in life. There is so much that we are not “in tune” with because we are overwhelmed with so much going on in our lives. There are so many reasons why we need to slow down and become more aware of the little things and what they may really mean.
