I've decided to try an experiment and focus on each of the colors in turn. I've been reading about the psychology of color and find it fascinating. I want to see what happens when I really turn my attention to a particular color. So I decided to start with blue.

The first thing I noticed were the clouds at dawn—a deep cobalt blue. I even saw a patch of blue sky. The mountains were a deep blue as well. What a sense of joy this color brings! Blue is not a sad color at all, but full of hope and promise. In the midst of a cold winter day, that glimpse of blue sky brought memories of sunshine and summer.

The heavens are blue and lift my sight upwards. I feel my vision is expanding. So much seems possible when I see the blue sky.

Today I need to bring blue to my work—calmness, efficiency, communication and intelligence. And discipline. Any new requests will have to wait in line. I've got enough to do already.

If I had all the blue qualities I needed, what would I do next?

• Organize my day and schedule any new demands for a later time.
• Set a policy for turn-around time.

How would blue help me solve today's challenges?

• I'd feel like I'm more on top of things and have a plan.

It worked! I was able to get through my work today and not feel so scattered and chaotic. I got a lot done and I actually do feel more on top of things. In fact, I was able to get started on one of those 'headache' projects I'd been putting off and it doesn't seem so enormous now.

I wonder what the next color will bring?
