Last week, we talked about the importance of light in your life, adding positivity from the outside in. Today, I want to talk about colors. And what better example to use than last week’s Festival of Colors called Holi?

Holi is celebrated in India and other countries with large Hindu populations as a welcoming of Spring. People drop their inhibitions and run about playfully splashing a rainbow of colors on all they see.

Colors, like light, affect the way you see the world and how you feel. Here at Only Positive News, we don’t believe in imposing positivity when you’re not feeling it. That’s artificial and frustrating. What we suggest is making some external changes and noticing how they can subtly affect your state of mind.

I recently bought a pair of bright orange curtains for instance. Right now, they blow in the breeze and add a real vivid quality to my room. They naturally lift my spirits.

These photos from Holi, will hopefully do the same for you!
