Many people are in a boring humdrum predictable and loveless relationship. You might ask why do they put up with it?

Often it is because there is no real initiative to do anything about it.

If a partner was horrible to you, treated you badly in some way or cheated on you then it would be an incentive to do something about it. So some people drift on and on and do nothing about their circumstances. Others stay in the relationship because it suits them. Maybe they have the freedom to do what they like or they have financial security. Another reason is that they have children and reason with themselves that they will do something about it once they are older. But is it good for children to be brought up in a loveless and often cold atmosphere? Surely it is not a good role model for them and it will affect their relationships when older as it will be the norm for them.

Also is it healthy for your wellbing?

So look at your situation and ask yourself are you happy?

Secondly do you want this situation for the rest of your life?

If the answer is no, then do something about it.

At least make a plan so that you can be happier if not happy. You could open a savings account and try and save, even a little here and there soon ads up, you will need it for your future.

If you want to work eventually you could take a course in something that you are interested in like a computer course or woodwork course that will hold you in good stead for the future.

If work is not your interest long-term then you could join an interest group. Local libraries often have interesting things on. This will increase your social life and you will meet people who are interested in the same things as you. If finances are your worry then citizen’s advice will point you in the right direction where you can see what you can claim. For every problem that you have there is an advice line. A solicitor can give 30 minutes free if you want to see where you stand from a legal point of view and also what you are entitled to.

So don’t be unhappy there is help out there and once you start things moving then doors will open for you.

Have you ever thought that a colour can affect your mood or your health?

Well according to research yes it can affect your health and your mood.

For instance it is not advisable to put bright vibrant colour in a bedroom and certainly not in a child’s room.

Colours such as red bright orange etc. stimulate the brain and would tend to keep you awake. Which is the last thing you would want in a baby or a child’s bedroom. Bedrooms need cool resting colour such as pastel blues greens or pale pinks.

A lot of red in a room can give some people headaches or even migraine.  

A lounge is usually a place to rest and relax, so calming colours are needed here to surround you and make you feel chilled out.

However, although white can look gorgeous too much can give a clinical cold look and make you feel that you are sitting in an operating theatre, which would not do a lot for your raising your mood.

However if there are clever tones of other colours with the white then it can look great and feel that you are sitting in luxury and opulence.

A lounge would not be good in too much strong blue as blue is a cold colour and would not have that calm effect on you.

Kitchens can be bright with yellows or greens.

Black can be used on work tops and look great in a kitchen however too much use of black in other areas could make you feel depressed, and can give a feeling of claustrophobia.

Again if black is used cleverly with other colours the affect can be stunning.

A good idea is to Google the colour that you want and ask for other colours to go with it and you will see brilliant set ups. Or you can just put in the colour of your carpet and sofa and see what colours Google come up with.
