The Blooming Spectrum: How Colour Psychology & Emotional Intelligence Shape Happiness

“Inspiration finds you when you take the first step.” – Today, I invite you to take that step with me.

Have you ever noticed how certain colours make you feel different emotions?

🔹 Wearing yellow makes you feel uplifted and energised.
🔹 Deep blue creates a sense of calm and trust.
🔹 A pop of red ignites passion and determination.

Science shows that colours influence mood, emotions, and even decision-making. Just as affirmations and mindset shifts shape self-confidence, intentionally using colour can enhance motivation, emotional awareness, and overall well-being.

That’s where The Blooming Spectrum comes in—a self-growth roadmap that blends emotional intelligence, the science of happiness, and colour psychology to help you bloom into your best self.

The Blooming Spectrum: A Celebration of Growth & Happiness

The Blooming Spectrum is not just a concept—it’s a journey of transformation, inspired by scientific research and personal experience.

📌 Why Eight?

• March 8th is International Women’s Day, a celebration of growth, empowerment, and transformation.
• Eight years ago, I began my gratitude journal, a practice that reshaped my understanding of emotional intelligence, happiness, and self-growth.
• The number eight symbolises renewal and continuous growth—just like the journey of self-improvement.

My Personal Journey: From Awareness to Blooming

This journey started long before I realised it. Over a decade ago, I attended a seminar led by Astrid Arens, a well-known personal development coach from Germany. That day, she said something that completely shifted my perspective:

💬 “Bunt heißt mehr zu sehen.” (“Colourful means seeing more.”)

At the time, I mostly wore neutral and dark colours, not realising how much my surroundings—both physically and mentally—were shaping my confidence and mood. I didn’t know how much the way we engage with colour influences our emotional state, just like our words and thoughts do.

Years later, when I started my gratitude journal, I truly began to see the world differently. Practising gratitude made me more aware of the small, beautiful details in life—a skill that, over time, completely reshaped my mindset, self-confidence, and overall happiness.

Now, while working on my upcoming workbook, 1% Happier Me Today—a comprehensive guide on how small, daily improvements create lasting happiness—I apply everything I’ve learned from The Science of Happiness, Emotional Intelligence, Autosuggestion techniques, and Mindfulness practices. But I’m also constantly growing.

Recently, I took a closer look at Colour Psychology—something primarily used in business, sales, marketing, and design—and realized that its influence goes far beyond that. The way we use colour in our daily lives impacts our emotions, confidence, and overall well-being.

Thinking back to Astrid’s words, I now fully understand that “seeing more” means becoming aware of the tools available to us—whether it’s colours, words, emotions, or habits—that can help us grow and thrive.

This is also why I wrote my latest blog post on autosuggestion, exploring how repeating the right words at the right time can reprogram self-doubt into confidence. Just as we can train our minds through intentional thoughts, we can also use colour psychology as a tool to influence our emotional well-being. You can read more about it here: Overcoming Self-Doubt Through Autosuggestion.

That’s why I’ve combined the power of colour psychology with emotional intelligence and the science of happiness—creating The Blooming Spectrum as a unique, holistic approach to self-growth.
