How to Use Color Psychology to Maximize Success [INFOGRAPHIC]
When you’re getting ready for the day, what factors dictate the clothing you put on? Whether it’s the weather, your schedule, or people you have to see that day, all of these elements contribute to the clothing you wear and the mindset you start the day with.
But what if we reversed that concept? Instead of dressing for the tasks you have to get done, dress for how you want to feel! We’re talking about color psychology and how using it can maximize your success!
What is Color Psychology?
Color psychology is the study of how hues impact or stimulate human behavior and when used therapeutically, have been known to balance the body’s energy centers. Many behavioral specialists even believe that colors can have universal impacts on our cognitive function and by using different colors in your wardrobe can send different signals to both others and yourself around who you are and what you want.
How to Use Color Psychology?
Using color psychology to maximize success comes down to picking colors that inspire motivation and confidence and surrounding yourself with them. From how you dress to what color you paint your home office channeling color psychology has never been easier now that roughly 40% of Americans are working from home. No longer can workplace dress codes or colorless office spaces limit your use of color psychology.
There are many ways to decide what colors compliment your body’s energy centers. Some look to Ayurveda, an ancient medicinal system, for direction, or others rely on universal color theory from behavioral scientists. Whatever method you use, find colors that make you feel driven and motivated, and continue to surround yourself with them to inspire greatness!
