“Go green” for mental health

Feeling anxious lately? (Who hasn’t?)

Maybe you should “go green”!

A color psychology expert recommends wearing more green, according to the NY Post!

Color psychology is the study of how different colors can affect your mood and behavior.

For example, red, yellow, and orange are known as warm colors and evoke feelings ranging from warmth to hostility.

Whereas, blue, purple, and green are known as the cool colors and they can make you feel anything from calm to sadness.

But the expert says “Green is the psychological primary color that balances the other three: red, yellow and blue.  Too stressed?  It will calm you.  Down in the dumps?  It will lift you up.  It’s a calming color!”

Plus there are studies that show seeing the color green in your environment (like a green space in your town or the plants in your office) it can lower your blood pressure, heart rate and stress level.

A psychologist and Reiki master agreed and said, “Green tends to be soothing, so wearing green may make you feel more relaxed and less anxious.”

So go for the green the next time you’re shopping at your favorite boutique!
