BLUE

Blue is a color that calms us down, makes sleep more relaxing and efficient. It boosts sensitivity and facilitates social contacts. Blue inspires, improves imagination, triggers creativity while dark blue develops intuition.
AT HOME
Light shades of blue are especially pleasant in our surrounding, it soothes emotions so that choice of color is perfect for children’s rooms and bedrooms. Although blue is a cold color making it warmer is very simple, all you have to do is to add some beige, white and all pastel colors.

BROWN

This colors provides with feelings of stability and security but is is often associated with shutting away from relatives, friends, hiding emotions. Brown rooms make people feel protected from the whole world.
AT HOME
Brown is easy in use as all shades of wood can be joined together, they don’t clash. Rooms in natural shades “accept” even the brightest colors which complement the palette. According to recent trends, browns should be accompanied with bright, modern colors such as turquoise, pink or purple.

GREEN

Green has always been known for its soothing and calming features. Looking at green around you relieves stress, has healing properties. It always brings calmness, laziness and comfort.
AT HOME
Surround yourself with green and you’ll achieve peace, harmony and energy balance. For rooms in which we relax and get some rest, greens should be warm with yellow shades whereas in hospitals it is better to use cold greens that are mixed with blue. Cold greens at home should be ’seasoned’ with any hot color e.g. red, bright pink or orange.

WHITE

White colors bring calmness, relaxation, improve mood. It is a perfect antidote to emotional traumas, fears or despair. White ensures clear thinking and help beginning from scratch. It is associated with hygiene and sterility.
AT HOME
Surrounding yourself with white only may cause some worries and fears but if other colors are added to it such combination suits as a base to many metamorphoses. It is an ideal beginning for room decorating as it gives countless possibilities.

Ayurveda is a term for ancient Indian medicine that can be translated as “knowledge of life” or “science of life”. It is becoming more and more popular in European countries. There’s nothing to be surprised about since oil massages, as if by magic, bring enormous relief from stress, tiredness and fears.

According to ayurveda each human consists of three types of energies that have influence on our psyche and body:

PITTA

A person with pitta nature is very romantic, passionate and sensual. If she is in a good shape she is self-confident, if not, she tends to be bossy and have mood swings. She feels very bad in tropical climate but has warm feet even during winter. The diseases that most often affect her are: hyperacidity, dermatitis, sleeplessness, anemy. It is important that pitta person had slow, quiet lifestyle.

VATA

A woman with vata dominance is impatient, subtle and sentimental. She learns quickly and forgets quickly. She is very excitable and has irregular lifestyle. Her figure is slim and she gets cold easily, that is why she does not like cold temperatures. The diseases that affect her most often are: headaches, sore throats, high blood pressure, arrythmia, lower back pains. The best advise for her is to eat regularly and have a sleep pattern.

KAPHA

A woman with kapha dominance is calm, patient, well-built. She forgives easily and tends to be very sympathetic. Her home and family are the most important for her, she values good food. The diseases that affect her are: colds, allergies, headaches connected with sinusitis, indigestion. Every day exercising and collecting experiences should be important for her.

Establishing what type we are is a key factor to begin the treatment, usually diet and inappropriate breathing cause illnesses. You can follow ayurveda principles at home e.g. regular sleep pattern and balanced diet.

You work to pay the rent. Frankly speaking, your job is the thing you dislike and you would take any opportunity to quit it. Sometimes the hatred towards your job is so strong that it causes health and emotional problems. You can’t let the situation happen so try to overcome the difficulties and enjoy your work more. The truth is that only people who enjoy what they’re doing are successful. The sooner your accept your work, the sooner you become sucessful.

There several ways you can do to enjoy your work more:

Improve your skills

Enroll to the courses, studies or workshops that will improve your skills. You’ll learn new things that might help you at work or you’ll just get involved in a hobby that interests you. Concentrating on your goal e.g. creating a project on your workshop that is not connected with the job will help you go through each day. You won’t concentrate on your hatred towards the job any more. The other advantage of evening language classes, workshops is that the filled calendar won’t let you think about responsibilities and tasks. Above all, new skills may help you find a new, fascinating job.

Practise sports

Even the shortest jogging or bike ride will improve your blood pressure and production of endorphin hormones (hormones of happiness) in the brain. This is the easiest way of improving your mood and becoming resistant to negative remarks. If you exercise your self-esteem is boosted and facing problems becomes a piece of cake. You will have more strength, more courage, more energy and more desire for life in general, in your job too.

The only principle you need to stick to is to listen to your needs. Do something for yourself and enjoy the company of your friends.
